Switching programme
Switching programme
Energy consumers must be able to switch their supplier easily and with confidence. Effective switching strengthens competition in the energy market, which in turn benefits consumers.
The current switching arrangements, developed in the late 1990s, are complex for suppliers and can lead to delays, errors and costs, which are often borne by consumers.
Through the Switching Programme we are taking steps to radically transform current switching arrangements, and deliver faster, more reliable switching for consumers.
