If you are moving into a rented place, then you might want to check with your landlord about the energy supplier. Usually it will be up to you to pick one and you can subscribe to the offer you’d like.

Energy bills can be included in the rent or you have to pay for them.

What should I do about my energy supplier?

There are also two cases.
