Sandwell's Big Community Switch
Big Community Switch helps residents switch energy suppliers, move to a renewable electricity tariff and save money on their energy bills. Switching with us means you can benefit from the bargaining power of a large group.
The ongoing volatility within the energy market continues to make the ability to switch to a better deal very challenging. The Ofgem Price Cap will rise from 1 October 2024 and all Standard Variable Tariffs are likely to track the price cap.
If you are already registered with us, we’ll contact you as soon as we have an offer that might be of interest to you. At that stage you’ll be able to update your energy details if you need to, so you receive an accurate offer.
Registration is open if you wish to register your details to receive an offer once an auction has taken place.

How does it work?
- Register for free and without obligation on the Big Community Switch website.
- Auction: The most recent auction was held on 29 October 2024. Residents who have already registered will automatically receive an offer email from the selected supplier. However, those who wish to register can do so until 9 December 2024.
- Personal offer: You will receive a personal offer, based on your registration details, and you can see how much money you can save.
- You decide: The decision is then yours as to whether you want to accept your offer. There is no obligation to switch. If you do wish to proceed, you need to accept the offer by 13 December 2024.
- Take control: If you accept, you will be one of the thousands who have taken control of their energy costs through our collective energy switching scheme.
Whether it’s for your home or your business, the Sandwell Energy Switch scheme could help to significantly reduce your energy bills.
For domestic customers, the process is different to using a price comparison website and is auction-based. Auctions are held 3 times a year in the spring, autumn and winter. There is no obligation to accept any quote provided.

Important message to people who signed up to previous rounds of Sandwell Energy Switch
Some people who changed gas or electricity providers using a previous round of Sandwell Energy Switch could now be coming to the end of their current deal.
If you know your tariff is coming to an end and you wish to register an interest with the next round of Sandwell Energy Switch, you can.
If you don't do anything, you're likely to be moved automatically onto your provider's standard tariff which could be higher than your previous rate.
If you wish to switch to a new tariff sooner, you can search for new deals by using price comparison websites.
