You probably hear and see it often energy suppliers and comparators who shout; ‘save a lot of money if you switch up to 250 euros per year’. This is indeed true, but to keep a lasting benefit from switching, you must do this every time your contract expires.
How do you save on energy?
Energy suppliers want new customers, they do this by; welcome gifts, cashbacks, competitive rates and so on. But once the contract term has expired, you will be charged a different rate. The sleepers or variable rate this is always higher than what you paid first. To prevent this, you switch after your contract term has expired, then you will again receive the rates that are used to bring in customers.
Compare yourself.
You can of course compare different energy suppliers every year, which means that you have to find the best deal yourself. You have to do this every year before you fall into the sleeper rate as explained above. If you don't you will pay too much again. You can now also switch automatically every year, this is a service that is already widely used in England.

The service of automatically switching energy supplier is fairly new in the Netherlands.
