How easy is it to change electricity supplier?

Iberdrola wish to raise (again!) my electricity by 2 cents a KW just in time for winter.

I now wish to move to someone who is cheaper and vote with my feet.

Can anyone recommend a cheaper supplier and provide details on how difficult is it to change?

Try using iberswitch they do all the work for you.

I use Iberswitch and they are brilliant and for around 3.50 euro a month they will do all the work for you and they always look for the cheapest electricity supplier.

Iberswitch are charging you 42 euros a year, for their service then. This means that you must have to save that amount on your unit cost before actually making a saving.
Could you share with us your current Kwh rates, as I am on the Iberdrola goverment regulated tariff, which is supposed to be the lowest price tariff. Thanks

I would not use Iberswitch if I were you. I tried them about 2 years ago and they put me on a higher tariff than I had been on with Iberdrola.
The most annoying thing was that I could not go back to my original tariff as Iberdrola no longer offered that.
They did install a new meter which allowed me to switch to a day/night tariff. I did block the management fee that Iberswitch tried to charge me and I am now with Gas Nat. Fenosa (Now Naturgy) as I get a 5% discount.
There is an official comparison site for both gas and electricity called Comparadorofertasenergia.CNMC.ES where you can put in your post code and compare electricity prices of all companies in this area. Once you have selected another company and sign on with them they will inform your existing company to terminate their contract so it is quite easy to switch.

Before you switch supplier. Do you have a smart meter? (monthly bills) & Have you had chance to check out Iberdrola's various plans?
eg night plan, winter plan, 8 hour plan etc ......see https://www.iberdrola.es/en

We moved onto their 8 hour plan and pick any period (total 8 hours) for nearly half price electricity. We now use the water heater on a timer and use the washing machine, AC, dishwasher, oven etc during our cheaper period. We picked 9am to 12 and 6pm to 11pm, which works well for us.

We changed to Nordic Energy
Our bills are now a third cheaper.
Go online and give them a call.
They do everything for you and the bill is in English so easier to see what you payfor.

Thanks but their website says they charge 53e per year. That's a months electric before you start to save any money.

I have to work out whether or not the 8 hour plan would work. Personally i just like to pay the same rate all day every day then i am not clock watching all the time. It's worth looking into i suppose. How much do you save on average?
