How to bypass the middlemen

I don't know about you but I am fed up dealing with electric/gas utility companies.

Some of you are lucky that you are able to install a solar panel or use wood stove. But I live on the 1st floor flat with no garden, no chimney so there is no chance of me to install such thing.

You have the option to choose which utility companies you sign with but you do not have to 'buy' electricity/gas from the energy companies.

I heard that you can ask utility company to take the meter off and install your own (by qualified engineer). Then you sign a contract with the department of energy (can't remember which council/ministry of....).

Does anyone know how to do this? Where can I find step by step instruction?
