    Where does it mention 11%?

    It probably varies slightly with supplier and fuel - for gas Southern Electric say only 3%

    If I oppose such Government Schemes, according to you, they can be avoided by switching to OVO. Why aren't they awash with new applications from the many dissenters?
    As you know, the apathy in switching energy suppliers is huge.
    I think at least 50% are still with their legacy supplier.

    Those who do switch do so probably for reasons of cost than for any political statement

    If you wish to lodge a poltical grievence, I would suggest you lobby your MP or vote at the ballet box than try to do it by changing energy supplier. ;)

    Well that's a 7% difference on electricity and much lower on gas. If each company's analysis is like for like. Not 11%.:)
