moneysupermarket.com: new British Gas green energy products

Commenting on British Gas's two new green products, Scott Byrom, utilities expert at price comparison website moneysupermarket.com, said: "Undoubtedly, these products tick all the right boxes from a 'green' point of view, but they come at a cost. Unfortunately, that cost will be to the millions of customers looking to play their part in the fight against climate change and go green.

"Most of us want to reduce our carbon footprint but, with the economy in its current state, the reality is the majority of UK households just want cheaper bills.

"The British Gas 'Zero Carbon' offering is over £150 more than the cheapest dual fuel product around, British Gas Click Energy 3.* It is this gap that providers need to bridge in order to gain consumer interest.

"All customers would be advised to look at online products, such as ‘Click Energy 3’, and, for those of us who are eco-friendly, donate some of the savings to a green project of our choice."
