Cheeper for green!?
Hi - mom recieved an astronomical bill from scottish power this morning - quite strange as i worked out she uses aprox £10.70 according to her new bill A DAY! anyhow so i went looking on money supermarket out of curiosity to see if OH and I could save any (were only paying £90 for gas and elec pm as were on a fixed with npower untill march 2010) looking at only fixed prices i am currently on the cheapest rate however being a bit of a kndred spirit i wondered how much it would cost for us to go green! Just for a giggle... so i clicked on the tab and it said our annual bill would drop our monthly to £72 - so now i'm in a bit of a dilema as to what to do as it would only cost us 60quid to get out of our contract! Have i done this right? I thought green energy costs more?
I dont know how our bill is so low - NOT COMPLAINING but we run washer, DRYER! dishwasher, fridge freezer and chest freezer as well as all the normal bits and bobs (2computers 24/7) there is 4 of us in the house as well as me and 2 tots in all day!
Has anyone else had similar result regards green power?
Cheers

Green with Eon is dearer. I'd have thought all green tariffs were dearer too, at least compared to a non-fixed/capped product0

Getting an estimate for a monthly payment on any of the comparison websites is a complete waste of time.
These sites are only interested in getting you to switch so they can get commission. If they make your DD payment £100, £50, or £1 it will not affect how much you will spend.
If you initially pay too little, you will build up a debit balance and have to pay it back later.
The only way to find out which is cheaper is to enter your annual consumption in kWhs and under no circumstances put down how much you pay.
Some 20% of customers switch to a more expensive tariff - most by being mislead.0
