Calling a Supplier to Switch

When you have made a decision and selected a new energy supplier, you will  need to call this provider to switch your account.

You could be asked some questions when you call to switch. Have a copy of a recent bill

You may be asked about:

• your current tariff (price per unit of electricity)

• how much you spend?

• your MPRN (Meter Point Reference Number). This is shown on your electricity bill

• your keypad number used to top-up your meter

Are you currently receiving an incentive discount?

• Don’t forget to check for any incentives they may offer?
