People in Keswick and its surrounding villages who joined the Big Allerdale Switch are now saving an average of £291 on their annual energy bills.
It's an initiative which has collectively saved residents more than £33,500 on their annual gas and electricity bills in the past.
Householders can still sign up to the community energy bulk-buying scheme - the next auction is in late March.
Councillor Carni McCarron-Holmes, Allerdale Borough Council’s executive member for housing and health, said: “We love how successful the Big Allerdale Switch has become. Our residents have saved thousands of pounds on their energy bills since the scheme was introduced. This council has made reducing poverty a key priority and we hope that this energy switching initiative can be extended so residents’ savings continue to increase.”
George Frost, UK Country Manager, iChoosr Ltd added: “Last year we helped councils participating in our schemes to save their residents more than £10 million. We are kick-starting this year with more fantastic savings for residents.
“The Government’s current Power To Switch campaign is attempting to grow the one in 10 households which engage in the switching market and that is precisely what council-led collective schemes have been doing over the last three years.
“Our inclusive schemes are accessible to all households irrespective of whether they are on credit or prepayment meters and, furthermore, many councils make the schemes available to households without internet access through their paper registration.”
