West Berkshire Collective Energy Switching: Better Offers Together

In previous years, we have promoted the West Berkshire Big Community Switch to help residents save money on energy bills. We are not currently promoting this scheme but may re-introduce it in the future.

We last ran this scheme in summer 2023. The feedback from the initiative was that there were not the savings to be made that had been achieved in previous years. This is a reflection of the energy market at this time. In order not to raise unrealistic expectations, we have suspended the promotion of this scheme until such a time that it becomes worthwhile again for residents to engage.

The Council is still committed to encouraging and enabling residents and businesses in West Berkshire to contribute to the pathway to net zero carbon and is focusing on the most beneficial schemes and projects.
