Energy Week 30th October – 3rd November 2017.

It’s Energy Week 2017 and to support this event Choice are attending roadshows along with partners all week to promote energy efficiency and switching of energy suppliers.  The roadshows will be held at shopping centres across Northern Ireland.  Alongside the Energy Team the Improving Benefits Uptake team will be on hand to provide benefits advice.  Further information on the venues during the week is available here on our website, Twiiter and Facebook.

Following on from the success of last year, where we attracted around 200 attendees throughout the week, we are delighted to be able to offer our services once again.  As part of Energy Week 2016 the Consumer Council spoke to attendees about switching energy providers and nearly £3,000 of potential savings were identified.  If this was representative, it could mean possible savings of over £500,000 if all Choice tenants were to consider switching energy providers!

The Benefits Uptake Team also supported our Energy Roadshows in 2016 and spoke to 134 attendees across the events.  The team subsequently carried out 60 benefits entitlement checks, 39 of which had a potential entitlement to a benefit service identified so this proved to be a worthwhile inclusion in the roadshows!

We would encourage all of our customers to ‘make the call’ by phoning 0800 232 1271.

During Energy Week 2017 the Choice Energy Team and Housing Rights will be attending Choice schemes to provide advice to customers across the country.  These will be one hour drop-in sessions at the times and locations listed below:
