You asked, we listened.  You can now choose whether to use details from your smart meter's in-home display or a bank card during sign up.

| View in browser Hi there   There's no easy way to say it - the energy price cap is increasing by 80% in October and there are some challenging months ahead.  But whilst you have no control over the cost of each unit of energy, you have more control over how many of those units you use.  If you measure it, you can control it!  On average Loop users cut their usage by 10% - how much could you save?        Loop is FREE - our mission is to reduce the carbon emissions of UK households so the more households that join Loop the greater our impact.  You asked, we listened.  No bank card required!  You can now choose whether to use details from your smart meter's in-home display or a bank card during sign up to Loop. The choice is yours and it's never been easier. Sign up for FREE today!       Joining Loop could have a wider impact than you realise, especially if you tell all your friends as well.  For an average household, a 10% reduction in gas and electricity use equates to around 300kg of carbon emissions saved.  So, if you recommend Loop to 10 friends and they all do the same, the numbers add up very quickly.  If every household with a smart meter cut their usage by 10% that would equate to over 4m tonnes of carbon emissions saved every year.  A big impact for a simple, free app.  Help us to spread the word about Loop and be part of that story.        FROM THE LOOP BLOG: The economics of solar Every unit of solar electricity you use saves you over 28p at the moment, 52p from October, and probably even more from January!  Solar payback has never been quicker.
