Energy deals on offer again

8:49am Wednesday 13th March 2013 in Local

PEOPLE who missed out on the chance to take their share of a £3 million energy savings scheme are being given another opportunity to get a better deal.

More than 35,000 people signed up to the Greater Manchester Fair Energy scheme when it was launched in January — more applicants than any other energy switching project of its kind in the country — and offers have been sent out to residents over the last few weeks.

Some people saved up to £900 on their energy bills and those who missed out in the first round will have a second chance, with the scheme opening again for registrations.

Anyone interested is being urged to register by visiting gmfairenergy.

com or calling 0800 009 3363 by April 8. Sign-up sessions will also take place on March 18, 9.30am until 12.30pm, at the Halliwell UCAN centre; March 19 to March 22, from 10am until 4.30pm at the One Stop Shop in Bolton Town Hall; March 22, from 10am until 12.30pm at Great Lever UCAN; March 22, from 1pm to 4pm, at Farnworth UCAN; March 27 and March 28, from 10am to 4.30pm at the One Stop Shop; March 28, from 1.30pm to 4.30pm, at Great Lever UCAN; and April 2, from 10am to 4pm, at the One Stop Shop.

Those who register for the scheme, led by Greater Manchester’s councils, will be placed in a “reverse auction” and will be offered energy deals which they can accept or reject.

There should be no such thing as lower energy bills. We should all pay the same price for energy and the only way to do this is to re-nationalise all the utility companies Gas, Electric and Water. Instead of paying share holders vast profits, thus making these Commodities cheaper.

Well said. It is about time the Companies ripping us off should be made accountable.
