An easy way to save money in 2017?

By Ruth Morris  Tuesday Jan 10, 2017

New Year, new money saving you? Switching energy providers is an easy way to get some extra cash in your pocket this year. And Bristol Energy can help www.bristol-energy.co.uk

Two thirds of people across the country are on expensive standard variable tariffs. If that’s you, then according to the energy regulator Ofgem, you could save up to £300 per year on your energy bills. 

Bristol Energy is your local gas and electricity supplier, and they are urging people to switch and save this winter. 

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

 

And you can use your bills to make a difference to local communities too. Owned by Bristol City Council, Bristol Energy will reinvest its profits back into its founding city. 

They have an exclusive deal for customers with a Bristol postcode and have just launched a green tariff too, meaning you can now go green AND give back to local communities. 

If you need any more persuading, Bristol Energy is here to debunk some of those classic energy myths: 

Myth: It takes ages to switch

It’s easy to switch, either online, over the phone or you can pop into the Bristol Energy Hub on the Harbourside. Your new supplier will do all the hard work, and organise the switch for you. 

Myth: I’ve been with my energy company for years, so surely I’m on their best deal? 

Not necessarily. When you come to the end of your fixed deal, it pays to shop around. Your energy company has an obligation to tell you on their bill if they have a cheaper deal for you. So check your paperwork or give them a call. But make sure you check other suppliers’ rates too.  

Myth: Green energy is expensive.

As technology has developed, the price of renewable energy has come down. Which is great news for customers, and for the environment too. Bristol Energy has a 100% green electricity tariff, which is £5 month more than their fixed deal. 

So get switching Bristol! It’s one New Year’s resolution that is easy to keep.
