British Gas = Puzzled of Somerset
Just going through a switch to BG via the energy club, and on the comparisons BG is listed as 100% renewable electricity. However, I've just got my contract (still within the 14 day cooling off period) showing only 56% of it is from renewables. Trying to do my bit, but this is misleading, no?
