Anyone who thinks that they are receiving 100% Green electricity in their home because they have signed up to Green electricity billing tariff are being misled.
didn't realise that but I think they have been fair with me on price increases so far. My mum (80) had switched everything off in her home due to SSE - back on and a nice not very affordable plan mind you but about a 50% decrease in monthly payments. You are welcome for the apology as I was weeelll off track there
