Greener Energy
The future of green power in the UK
This supercharged upgrade is the most traceable way for you to buy green energy. You’ll be able to see where we buy our renewable electricity from and together we’ll help build a community of renewable generators.
For every person with Greener Energy we’ll contribute £20 a year to support new independent UK generators. And as you might expect, you’ll be getting 100% renewable electricity backed by power purchase agreements and 100% carbon neutral gas. Together, we’re powering a more sustainable future for the country.

All the good you do with Greener Energy
Upgrading to Greener Energy means you’re growing a greener grid for the UK, for now and the future. That’s because for every year you have Greener Energy, we’ll contribute £20 to help more independent renewable power generators get up and running.
Our Greener Energy contributions will make a significant difference in supporting new renewable generators.
The £20 we’re providing will go towards buying ”subsidy-free” Power Purchase Agreements from new UK renewable generators. Without our support, these projects might not get off the ground and they can’t get subsidies. So our commitment to buy power from them once they’re all set up, means they’re more likely to get other funding too.
The long and short of it: more renewable energy can be generated. Making the country cleaner and greener for us all. Which is something to feel seriously good about.

Go further with our green upgrade
Our Greener Energy upgrade brings you 100% renewable electricity from traceable sources. While the electricity that powers your home comes from a mix of sources, we buy the same amount of renewable electricity to balance this all out. So for all the electricity you use, we’ll feed the same amount back into the grid from green sources.
We get this power straight from independent UK generators. We already have a community of more than 60 small-scale generators – from Shetland to Truro – and more are joining every month. They create green electricity from wind, solar, hydro and anaerobic digestion. You can meet some of them here.
To buy this energy, we use contracts called Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). These help us know exactly where our renewable electricity comes from – it’s the most traceable way of buying and selling green power.
You’ll also get 100% carbon-neutral gas. That includes 10% green gas, the greener cousin of natural gas. It's cleaner and fossil fuel-free. Ours is backed by Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGOs). We offset the rest of your gas, by supporting certified carbon reduction projects – from protecting the rainforest to planting trees.
