Can I change my electric provider?

Hi all,

Just a quick one - I am currently with nPower on a pre payment card, I currently rent the flat where I am living. Am I still allowed to switch providers? and could I potentially be saving money even when I am using a pre payment card to top up my electric? (electric only in my flat, no gas).

Thanks!

    A landlord cannot stop a tenant switching utility suppliers as it is their account and nothing to do with the landlord.
