ONLY 1 per cent of consumers are exploring green energy options when looking for a new electricity provider, research has found. Energy price comparison website www.GoSwitch.com.au says paying extra to help the environment is not a high priority for most consumers. "The vast majority will only choose a more environmentally friendly option if it means they are still saving money off their regular bill," GoSwitch chief executive Ben Freund said.
He said many people did not realise that in some cases, green energy options cost less than their existing plans. GoSwitch believes the introduction of an emissions trading scheme in 2010 could result in the average annual household electricity bill jumping 55 per cent, from $1800 at present to $2800.
