Compare and Connect will sign you up with the \r new energy provider, and we will inform\r your current provider of your move away from them.\r The actual transfer to your new provider\r will not happen straight away, though, because the old provider\r needs to do a final meter reading.\r and then send you their final bill. \r Your new provider will begin charging you from the date that the meter is read.\r the distributor who supplies the energy to your premises\r will continue to be the same as before the switch.
