ONE year after Bord Gáis launched its Big Switch campaign, up to 300,000 customers have defected from the ESB to avail of cheaper electricity.

The semi-state company set a target of amassing one million gas and electricity customers by 2012 and is well on the way, judging by these latest figures. They have 600,000 gas customers.

Its target for the year had been the transfer of 80,000-100,000 electricity customers.
