THE Collective Energy Switch Scheme enables residents across Merseyside to pool their buying power to achieve savings on their energy bills.

I am pleased that the scheme's current instalment has incorporated my suggestion to allow residents to indicate an interest in green tariffs, i.e. electricity that is generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, tidal etc.

This will facilitate those who wish not only to achieve a better deal financially but who also want to use their spending power to support green industries and protect our environment.

You can register your interest online at lcrenergyswitch.co.uk or by telephoning 0800 043 0151.
