Cheshire East is launching a new energy supplier Fairerpower, which will begin signing up customers this month at potential savings of up to £250 per month it is claimed

March 16, 2015 is the first day when people can switch to the new service, which will drive gas and electricity prices down and offer a competitive, local alternative to the Big Six.
Cheshire East and its partner OVO Energy are committed to providing great value.

Customers will get:

* Ability to fix contract for 12 months;
* 3 per cent Interest Reward paid on all credit balances, up to £1,0002;
* Award-winning customer service.

Councillor Michael Jones, Leader of Cheshire East Council, will be the first to sign up.
Councillor Jones said: "I want to eliminate fuel poverty in Cheshire East and Fairerpower will help us to do this.
"That's why we have become the first local authority to supply energy direct to the public since gas and electricity were nationalised in 1948.
"Our offer will be available to all sections of the community and can save most people a lot of money.
"Never again will people in Cheshire East have to choose between eating or heating during the winter. And Fairerpower's offer is so good, it may soon be available to people living outside the borough."

Customers who pay by monthly direct debit can switch from March 16. Pre-payment, also known as pay-as-you-go, customers will be able to sign up soon after and an offer for businesses is due to launch in the summer.

Hundreds of people who have already expressed an interest in Fairerpower will receive an email shortly with details of how they can switch.
