electricity used by a consumer Good Energy promises to supply the national grid
with a unit of electricity from renewable power sources.
-
Green Energy 100 – For every unit of electricity the consumer buys, Green
Energy 100 buys one unit of green electricity. Green Energy 100 also invests
50% of profits into green electricity generation.
-
Ecotricity – For every unity of electricity the consumer buys, it supplies 0.1
units of green electricity – increasing by 10%/year – but also invests in wind
farms.
In addition, npower offers the Juice ‘clean and green’ service which supplies
one unit of green electricity for every unit of electricity you buy.
Scottish Power also has a ‘Green Energy Fund’, which invests up to
£15.75/year/customer in green energy schemes, which is matched by the company.
Powergen offers GreenPlan in which they guarantee to match every unit of
electricity supplied to GreenPlan customers with one from a renewable source
and London Energy pledges to match the electricity you use with electricity
from renewable sources with their Green Tariff.

for you.
