Taking advantage of switch rates without a current energy provider

Hi All,

I've been getting emails about the big switch, and want to take advantage of the rates if I can.

However, I've been travelling and rented my house out while doing so, so I don't have a current energy provider - I'm moving back this weekend.

Is there any way I can take advantage of the better rates without having a current provider to switch from? All I can see on the "energy" section of the MSE site is information on switching, no deals for new accounts. I'm assuming if I just complete the switch form without entering details of an existing account it won't go through.

Cheers
Tris

    You can't switch until the current tenant leaves. On that date, you will have a supplier - the one your tenant used :) (Do contact them first before you do anything else)
