Over 36,757 people have started the process of switching supplier through The Big Switch, with an average annual saving of £223.22 on their energy bills.

On 11th May the Co-operative Energy delivered a new market leading deal and won in all three categories of the The Big Switch, the UK's first nationwide collective switch from Which? and 38 Degrees.

Richard Lloyd, executive director at Which?, said: "The Big Switch was a UK-first and despite some people saying it would fail, we managed to move the market by securing a new market leading deal and have already delivered an average saving of over £200. With over 36,000 people deciding to switch already, it is clear The Big Switch is a first that worked."

David Babbs, Executive Director of 38 Degrees, said:"Thousands of us have come together to challenge the power of the big gas and electricity companies. We've achieved a fantastic result. It's great that the Co-op won. We've managed to really shake up the energy market. It proves that people power works - and it's exciting to think about where it will go next."
