Big Energy Week
Making the most of your energy needs forms part of a national campaign backed by the Citizens Advice service to help people save money on their fuel bills and ensure they are on the best tariffs. Consumer organisations, energy suppliers, switching sites and Government agencies are working together to let consumers who are struggling with rising energy bills know about all the help that is available. 43% of people are worried they can’t afford their next fuel bill and one in two say energy bills will put a strain on their finances this year Citizens Advice, Chief Executive, Gillian Guy said: “We know hikes in prices have put extra pressure on people’s budgets at a time when money is already tight. Day in day out our Bureaux helping people who can’t afford their fuel bills. “We’re worried that some people are struggling unnecessarily because they’re not on the best deal; live in homes that haemorrhage heat or are not getting all of the financial help available to them.” An easy guide is available via www.cabnuneaton.org.uk/?p=big-energy-week to help people struggling with their energy costs, shop around for a cheaper deal or even get a grant to insulate their homes.
