Launch of new energy provider - Oink Energy

A new independent energy provider called "Oink Energy" is starting its search for new customers. Oink Energy is sniffing out customers who want an energy company more in tune with them and who understand what people want.

Oink Energy believes it's time to simplify how customers buy energy and talk to their energy providers and so is offering customers a more fruitful v painful alternative to the mainstream energy suppliers: a straight-forward solution for straight-talking people.

If customers muck in and switch to Oink Energy, they will receive a truly personal service, a competitive price for their electricity and gas, bills that are straightforward and easy to find as online billing is standard, and just one simple dual-fuel tariff. Oink Energy calls this "dead simple energy".

And, let's not forget with winter on its way, the Oink Energy team will provide lots of tools and energy saving tips to help customers reduce their bills.

Oink Energy is launching its very own customer PiggyFesto:

When speaking to Oink you will speak to a named person within 30 seconds of calling (and an email reply on the same working day). The Oink team will call a piglet a piglet — Oink folk are a truly straight talking bunch. They will tell you like it is, always.

Oink Energy likes to treat their customers like family, so customers won't get penned into a long and laborious contract: people can settle their account and change supplier at any time. No tie-ins, no hidden penalties and no exit fees.

A straight-forward online process to safely and easily switch energy supplier.

The average household will pay £1,178 per year on Oink's single dual-fuel tariff.

The Oink Energy team aims to bring a refreshing contrast to the big energy companies who still have the bulk of the market at around 90% or so.

The Oink Energy brand sets itself apart from the rest of the energy sector. Energy is a serious issue for people today but the creation of the Oink Energy brand, and its evolution through the Oink Energy family of four — Peter, Peggy, Sparky and Titch — has been designed to bring people closer to their energy supplier.

Oink Energy is not about dumbing down, but rather engaging with people in interesting, and humorous ways to communicate some very important messages. Customers can enjoy positive experience with their provider by joining Oink Energy but also better manage their energy use in the home and thereby reduce their energy bills.

At this stage, Oink Energy is a small-fry piglet in the UK energy market, but the team are sure that customers will be drawn to Oink Energy, as it's a refreshing and colourful alternative to the same-as-same-as blandness that is today's energy market.

Oink Energy will deliver the serious service of providing electricity and gas to its customers with a smile! Why not? When a customer calls Oink, they won't get any grunting or snorting, but will be greeted by some nice Oink folk who genuinely want to help customers get more from their energy supplier.

Oink Energy aims to make the energy market more competitive by providing customers with another choice. There is room in the market to do so.
