The Affordable Energy Campaign The Affordable Energy Campaign

Campaigning for affordable energy

Which? wants you to spend as little as possible on energy. But how?

We're tackling unfair energy tariffs - so you can compare prices at a glance and get the best gas and electricity deal. Help us by asking Ed Davey to step in and put an end to tariff confusion.

We're challenging the smart meter roll-out - putting a smart meter in every UK home will cost upwards of £11bn. We're calling for a halt to the roll-out, so the government can review its strategy. What's more, we're challenging companies not to send in stealth salespeople when they come to install your meter.

We're putting the Green Deal in the spotlight to make sure that it's good value for money, and contains good protection for consumers who take up the offer.

We're listening to your energy stories - we'd like to collect examples of good and bad practice in energy companies, to help shape the future of the affordable energy campaign and highlight areas we should investigate. 

Join the Affordable Energy Campaign

As we progress through the campaign, we'll need your help to put pressure on the government, Ofgem (the regulator), and energy companies to get them to take action. To join in, sign up for our monthly newsletter – we'll let you know what we're doing throughout the Affordable Energy Campaign, and how you can help us achieve change.

Pay less for gas and electricity

We all know that the best way to save money on energy is to make sure that you are energy efficient. This can mean turning the lights off, but also making sure that your home is as energy efficient as possible.

We'll be campaigning for better energy efficiency and microgeneration initiatives, and giving advice on making green improvements to your home, so you'll be sure your choices will save you money.

We'll also continue to offer free information and advice about money saving home improvements in our energy advice section, and joining forces with campaigning group 38 Degrees to get you a market-leading energy deal.
