We'll sign you up with the \r new energy supplier\r, and we will also notify\r your present provider that you are changing to another retailer. \r The actual switch in suppliers\r\r won't happen straight away, though, because your current supplier\r\r needs to read your meter one final time.\r and then send you a final bill. \r The new supplier\r starts charging you from the date of the meter reading.\r the distributor who feeds the energy to your home \r continues to be the same as it was before the switch.
