Big Energy Week: 16-21 January 2012

On the 17 October, Gillian Guy, along with energy suppliers and representatives from other consumer groups joined the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to discuss what can be done to help consumers cope with rising fuel bills. One of the outcomes of the week was that the Citizens Advice service would coordinate a "Big Energy Week" in January. During the Big Energy Week, consumer organisations, energy suppliers, switching sites and Government agencies will work together to let consumers who are struggling with rising energy bills know about all the help that is available and the steps they can take to save money on their energy bills and maximise their income. To help us reach as many people as possible bureaux are being asked to support Big Energy Week by: • coordinating a community event • letting all clients who come to the bureau know that it is Big Energy Week and where they can get more information on how to save money on their fuel bills and maximise their income • doing local media work to raise awareness. During Big Energy Week information and advice on all aspects of saving money on fuel bills will be found at www.bigenergyweek.org.uk Click to read the full article
