Please HELP us with our major project:  

Cheaper Energy Together (not restricted to Erewash)

We are building up a buying group to obtain better domestic rates for electricity and gas.

We want people to sign up online or using a form we can supply.

The bigger the group the better the offer will be made by the energy companies.

People can then choose cheaper energy (or not) and help will be provided to switch.
