On this episode of Electric Evolution, Liz Allan speaks to Sally Cranham, who is a Utilities Consultant at Current Utilities. They discuss ways in which households can achieve sustainability goals and save money on their utility bills. Sally talks about her experience with Utility Warehouse, which offers the cheapest energy on the market, and how she helps customers reduce their usage with tools and comparisons to average usage. Liz and her family prioritise sustainability, and they have locked in their energy rate with Octopus until June 2023. However, they also plan on making significant changes in their household in the long term, such as installing solar panels. Sally emphasises the importance of education and small actions, such as turning off appliances completely, in achieving sustainability goals. She also talks about how companies are taking steps towards being more environmentally friendly, such as Utility Warehouse's 100% renewable energy bundles and their brand ambassador Ben Fogel. Liz also shares her views on the urgency of achieving net zero by 2030 and spreading information about what individuals can do to make a difference.

Sally Cranham Bio:
Sally Cranham is the founder of Current Utilities, a company she started just a year ago. Before that, she worked as a residential consultant with Utility Warehouse, where she learned about the residential market and helped people find ways to simplify, save, and opt for green options. Sally got into the industry after returning from America and being introduced to Utility Warehouse's social marketing concept. When the Pandemic hit, Sally saw an opportunity and helped customers reassess their energy needs as they spent more time at home. She was able to learn a lot through the process and continues to help customers find the best energy solutions for their needs.
