This exactly happened to my friend. He switched to a “green” third party supplier as a feel good move and noticed after a few months that his bill had gone from $300 a month to $1200 with zero changes in use. Highway robbery.

Gotta read the fine print

It’s not really fine print. It’s in giant letters all over the web site and they are required to send you 3 separate mailers informing you.

The fine print - gotta read it

So what you are saying is that you gotta read the fine print?

I had something similar with green energy suppliers. I did keep them for two years, because I try to be more environmentally friendly. Eventually it was just too expensive to keep paying the rising electric costs.

Maybe when I own my own house, I can put in solar panels and be more energy friendly that way.

Just so you know the vast majority of energy suppliers on the pa power choice website don't actually make gas or electricity. They're brokers. The ones that are green buy and sell green energy but don't actually, for the most part, own anything.
