Hi, you might also like to read our Green Star analysis.

Back to Lisa Rose's original post...

Hello from a first time user of the forum

I am considering switching gas and electricity to Green Star which is highest rated of the 'green' energy suppliers in terms of the savings I can make.

However the standing charges of both fuels are extremely high (over 16p for gas and 25p for electricity).

Am I missing something? It seems to me that this is higher than rates elsewhere so Im mistrustful of the savings comparison as a result.

Can anyone shed some light/advise accordingly?

Thanks
