Auto-switching* is more than a concept – it’s emerging from Austria to America, Great Britain to Germany.  From Look After My Bills’ appearance on the UK’s Dragons’ Den, to articles a-plenty appearing across the news, it’s slowly but surely entering the mind of the public. But while energy consumers are gradually becoming more aware of auto-switching, although by concept rather than name, it’s still being met with suspicion by some. How can customers be assured they will, in fact, be given the best deal? Is it really as easy as it sounds? Where’s the catch?

In the first episode of Talking New Energy, the new podcast from Delta-ee, we discussed the important issues driving auto-switching forward, and the roadblocks standing in its way. Find out more headlines below.

We don’t just help others in the energy sector – we like to make a real difference ourselves, too. That's where the Green Team comes in.

The latest Delta-ee podcast focuses on the impact of the latest changes to the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) tariffs and the impact they will have on the UK heat pump market.

Steven Ashurst, Senior Analyst and Micro-CHP Research Service Manager, and Lukas Bergmann, Senior Analyst and Heat Pump Research Service Manager, suggest the changes in tariff point towards a positive future for air source heat pumps.

Delta-ee's in-house customer panel has identified opportunities for growth within smart heating controls and service contract options.

Discussing the results in the latest Heat Cast Podcast, Steven Ashurst (Senior Analyst) and Valts Grintals (Analyst) from the Delta-ee Heat Insight Service, and Miranda Mayes (Market Research Practitioner & Consultant), consider the findings of the most recent online study and the benefits of using an in-house customer panel.
