About Essex Energy Switch

Switching with Essex Energy Switch means you can benefit from the bargaining power of a large group.

Once you have registered, Essex Energy Switch hold an energy auction where suppliers compete for the opportunity to offer you the lowest energy tariff. There's no need to compare different tariffs as you'll receive a personal offer.

If you accept the offer, Essex Energy Switch will handle the switch over for you.
