Yes, but it worries me greatly that you didn't bother to check yourself, so presumably have no idea how much your recommendation will cost your 91 yo relative.:eek:
Whilst their website does indeed stste they are a not for profit company set up by Leeds City Council for households across the Yorkshire & Humber regions , their website alos indicates they hope to make a margin
White Rose Energy is a brand owned by Leeds City Council and operated under regulated licence by Robin Hood Energy Limited

He is very pleased, they have quoted him a monthly payment less than half what his old supplier was charging(EDF), and he was in credit.

I would also be concerned as a caring family member. The message to get across here is that monthly payments are meaningless unless the energy consumption data used as the basis for a price comparison is accurate. Payments are only money paid to the supplier on account from which charges are deducted. As I am sure that you know, billing charges are based on the chosen tariff and the amount of energy consumed. If I was in your situation, I would take a sly look at the assumptions used by the gaining supplier. These should be in the Welcome Letter/E-mail.0
