Our fuel mix

Each year, every UK energy company has to publish where its electricity supply comes from. While the industry average for renewable energy is around 40%, Ecotricity supplies 100% green electricity to its customers.

The chart to the right demonstrates where our electricity came from during 2022/23, with the mix including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and hydro.

UK Fuel Mix disclosure information, published by Government Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, recognises electricity from renewable sources such as the wind and sun produce zero carbon dioxide emissions at the point of generation.

The green energy purchased by Ecotricity customers is supplied to the National Grid network. Our domestic and business customers receive electricity via the National Grid and Distribution Network and not directly from our green energy generators.

Climate Clock

The Climate Clock is a version of the Doomsday clock that has been running since 1947 - this tracks the risk of global man-made disaster, through man made technology (like nuclear weapons) - displaying the minutes and seconds left before midnight, when disaster strikes. The climate crisis is a small part of the calculations made.
The climate clock uses a similar approach, but, focuses only on the climate crisis - which is the biggest and most urgent existential threat we face.
"The Climate Clock is a countdown to the biggest man-made disaster we face - but also a measure by which we can track our progress - moving from fossil to renewable energy. It shows we have no time to lose - the clock is ticking…" Dale Vince, OBE.
