With energy efficiency front of mind, Big Energy Saving Week focuses on raising public awareness of how to save money by making homes and businesses more energy efficient. Big Energy Saving Week is organised by Citizens Advice and is supported by regional Citizen’s advice bureaus, including Manchester and Lancashire West for the North West. They also have support of numerous organisations, charities and companies including the Energy Saving Trust, Ofgem and the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

“We commissioned the survey to delve into people’s attitudes towards energy saving and really get them thinking about ways they can improve their efficiency. Big Energy Saving Week shares this sentiment so it is the perfect opportunity to reveal the results of our research.

“It’s essential that we work together with the British public to ensure that they are more efficient with their electricity usage around the home. This is not only to ensure that everyone has the power they need, when they want it, but to ensure that they can afford the energy they need,” adds Paul, Electricity North West.
