We like to keep things simple. So we have just two tariffs - both dedicated to building new sources of green electricity.
No matter which one of our tariffs you choose you will be helping to bring about the greatest change you possibly can through your electricity bill. Because we take the money our customers spend on their electricity bills and we use it to build new forms of clean power - windmills. We like to think of it as ‘turning electricity bills into windmills’.

All the green energy in this tariff comes from our own windmills. It's a growing component - this year just under 50% - as we keep building more windmills. It's topped up with ‘brown’ electricity which we buy from the wholesale market. This reduces each year as we build more of our own green. And we price match New Energy to the standard tariff of all the regional suppliers - so switching to New Energy should not cost you any more. |
The green energy in our fuel mix has grown consistently over the last 4 years. |

This tariff has the same component of our own green electricity as our New Energy tariff, but is topped up with somebody else's green electricity making it a 100% green tariff. You still get the same commitment from us to build new sources of green energy. New Energy Plus comes at a small premium, around £20 more per household per year because it's topped up with green energy that we have to buy in. There's not enough of it to go round (the UK only has 5% renewables) so it costs a little more. |
