Switching Energy Suppliers In Twenty Four Hours
I was trained as a Control Engineer, and know that the quicker you can make adjustments to a system, the faster it will stabilise. So the aim of being able to switch energy suppliers in 24 hours, would have the effect of stabilising prices, at a level acceptable to both suppliers and customers. It is unlikely that prices would rise because of this, as why would a customer switch to a more expensive supplier?
