Big Community Switch autumn auction now open

THE iChoosr Big Community Switch autumn auction is now open for Mendip residents to register their interest in collectively switching energy suppliers.  

The auction is open until 12 October and you can register your interest at https:// bigcommunityswitch.co.uk/mendip/home. 

Mendip District Council report, “More Mendip residents than ever are making the most of the Big Community Switch’s offer, saving them on average £129 a year. Take up more than doubled in May 2021 compared to May 2020. The scheme also offers 100% renewable energy tariffs from wind, biomass and solar for electricity, at competitive market prices. So, doing your bit for the planet couldn’t be easier.” 

Cllr Tom Ronan, Portfolio Holder for Strategic Policy and Climate Change said, “With Autumn just around the corner, it’s never too early to start thinking about switching energy suppliers ready for the winter ahead.  

“By using the Big Community Switch, you’re guaranteed to be joining a community of likeminded people who want their electricity sourced from renewable power, which will help ensure carbon emissions stay low in the district. 

“You could also save yourself on average £129 a year! It’s very easy to register, with no obligation to switch until after the auction, when you’ll receive a personal offer to then make your decision. So be sure you register before 12th October.” 

The Big Community Switch supports Mendip’s climate and ecological emergency commitments. 

Remember, you have until 12th October to register your interest before the autumn auction closes. It takes just 5 minutes to complete. For more information and to register, visit www.mendip.gov.uk/bigcommunityswitch.
