My Tariff was changed within two months!

Options

I switched both my Gas & Electric over to Green back in November last year, with everything completed in early December (I used the MSE tariff searching tool).
Earlier this month, Green emailed me to tell me my rates were changing (already!). Electric is going from 12.13 p/kWh to 15.75, and based on my usage projections, the electric increase alone is going to cost me an extra £150 a year. That feels a really big increase so soon after I have made the switch.

I'm a bit peeved to be honest. So my question is - can I switch away from Green already, given that what I will now pay is quite a bit different to what I signed up to just a few months back?

    Read the Ts &Cs to which you signed up.  It sounds like a variable tariff, in which case you can switch with no penalty.
