Reduce your fuel bills

Energy-saving improvements can reduce your energy bills, heating costs and make your home more energy efficient.

Greater Manchester's Fair Energy Switching Scheme ReturnsGM Fair Energy picture

We know that rising gas and electricity prices are a real concern. We have the power to reduce energy bills if we join together to look for a better deal.

Those of you that missed out on your chance to take a share of a £3m energy savings scheme, don't worry, you have another opportunity to get better deals.

In January, more than 35,000 people signed up to for the GM Fair Energy scheme when it was first launched. People across Greater Manchester saved a total of £3m across their bills with some slashing their bills by up to £900 a year.

Don't miss out now - this could be your chance to save!

How does it work?

On 9 April 2013 an online energy auction will take place with UK energy providers. They will be offered the chance to supply people across Greater Manchester who have signed up to the scheme.

Each provider will bid for your custom by offering their cheapest energy deal. The best-value provider will then be chosen and that deal offered to all those who signed up to the scheme. Once you receive your offer you can decide whether to accept or decline.

The more households that sign up, the better deal we get for everyone.

No obligation

There is no obligation to switch providers. After the auction you will be given a new personal offer price for your energy for the next year - at this point you can choose to sign up to the scheme if it works for you. It's hassle free and there's nothing to lose!

You need to register by 8 April 2013.

Sign up now.

Or, you can call 0800 009 3363.
