Does Switching to Green Energy Cost More?

Many of the electricity companies offer Green Tariffs, so it’s just a matter of comparing each of the prices for your own particular electricity usage against the Green Tariffs. Take this example: – a typical four bedroom home, using around 4,996kwh of electricity per year, is currently paying £732 per year on a monthly direct debit. Looking at the Green tariffs of Energy providers, switching to British Gas Energy Share could save this householder £64 per year or even £70 if they switch to OVO Energy. With other Green Energy providers you may have to pay a little more, but this is usually offset against those companies’ increased renewable energy policies.

The best thing for you to do is to compare your electricity usage against all the Green Tariffs on the UKGreenPower Comparison Website – you can also check the green prices offered against the prices for traditional energy. This way you can make an informed decision about whether you want to switch to Green Energy or not.
