Living Under One Sun brings the community an innovative approach to saving money on gas and electricity bills through advice on a collective action advice on reducing energy costs: The Haringey Big Community Switch.
We set up the project in April 2013 and have worked with people to develop their financial management skills and find ways to reduce energy costs.
Joanne Barrett the Community Outreach Worker for ‘The Haringey Big Community Switch’ said ‘This has been a great opportunity to help give people the confidence to manage their own gas and electricity bills. People are much more willing to negotiate with their gas and electricity providers. We talk about gas and electricity and how it’s used. Together we find ways to reduce costs.’
When you register for The Haringey Big Community Switch, you can compare the price you are paying now with an alternative. The Collective Switching project aims to reduce energy prices through a ‘reverse auction’. The more people who register to switch, the better the deal is likely to be and the cost for gas and electricity may be reduced for everyone. There is no obligation to switch.
A Haringey Resident said:
‘I live in a rental property and it’s much more difficult to control how much is spent on energy. It’s living with other people. Gas and Electricity was just another thing wrong. I talked to Joanne. Now I’m going to enlist my flatmates. Talk to the landlord about lowering the temperature on the shower setting. We are only going to put as much water as we need in the kettle.’
