Cut Energy Bills - Switch Together
Energy Deal - the collective switching campaign
During these difficult and challenging times it’s even more important to save money on your energy bill.
Kent Energy Deal has been in operation since collective energy switching began in the UK in 2013. Kent Energy Deal is a partnership between Kent Councils and iChoosr to help residents save money on their energy bills by using combined buying power to access highly competitive tariffs. Dartford Borough Council along with Dover, Gravesham, Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells are the partner Councils that run the scheme, however online registration is open to any resident no matter what District/Borough they live in.
Participation is completely free with no obligation to switch. Kent Energy Deal hold 3 auction rounds a year – Autumn, Winter and Spring (auctions October, February and May). Register for the auction round that most closely aligns to the end of your current fixed tariff. If your current fixed tariff is not due to expire in the next few months, register and take part in one of the forthcoming rounds.
