<p>We have worked with Energy UK, Ofgem, suppliers and other key industry partners
to develop and implement proposals which will enable domestic customers to switch
supplier 17 days, half the time it currently takes. The industry code changes to enable
to this will come in to force on 6 November and Energy UK members have all committed
to offering it by the end of the year. These code changes will also enable more streamlined
switching of non-domestic customers.</p><p>The Department is also working with Ofgem
to support their proposals for a longer term move to next day switching. A key element
of this is the roll out of smart meters.</p>
