Important Note for March 2026 Switch Together Auction
Unfortunately, the March 2026 Switch Together energy auction did not result in any suppliers submitting fixed‑rate tariffs below the Ofgem Price Cap - a requirement to be able to offer a new tariff to residents.
Although the Ofgem Price Cap is due to fall tomorrow, wholesale energy prices remain highly volatile, and suppliers have been unable to provide competitive fixed‑term tariffs that meet the standards of the Switch Together scheme.
What Happens Next?
Communication to Participants
All residents who registered for the March auction will be contacted shortly with full details of the outcome.
Ongoing Market Monitoring
We will continue to monitor the energy market closely. When conditions improve and suppliers can offer competitive, below‑cap fixed tariffs, we will work towards organising a future auction.
