If you’re thinking about switching your energy to Ecotricity, you’re not alone. A recent Oxford University report revealed that 84 percent of us say that Britain should strengthen its efforts to fight climate change.
Switching to truly green energy is the single biggest thing you can do as an individual to fight climate change and help build a greener Britain.
Here are five reasons why you should switch to Ecotricity for your green energy:
1. Truly green energy
Ecotricity only supplies 100% renewable electricity. We generate around 10 percent of it from our own wind and solar parks across Britain. The rest is purchased from certified green generators or through the wholesale market.
Our gas is a mix of carbon-neutralised natural gas and sustainable green gas. We’re busy planning and building green gasmills, making sustainable gas from grass – without taking away land for food production.
2. We’ll turn your bills into mills
Ecotricity is a “not-for-dividend” company. Unlike other energy companies who pay out their profits to shareholders, we reinvest our customers’ bill money into building new sources of green energy.
Switch to Ecotricity and you’ll be directly funding the development of more wind and sun parks, alongside innovations like grid-scale batteries to store green energy for surge demand, reducing the need for fossil fuels.
3. We’re a Which? Eco Provider
Ecotricity has been a Which? Eco Provider for energy for the past four years.
This independent rating from the UK’s consumer champion is based on a range of sustainability criteria, including generating renewable power, buying and selling renewable power and selling green gas.
4. Amazing customer service
Our customer satisfaction score on Trustpilot is 4.2 stars out of 5, from over 6,000 independent reviews.
Our friendly customer service team is based in Stroud, Gloucestershire and our telephone lines are open at times to suit our customers: Monday to Friday 9am - 7pm, Saturday and Sunday 9am - 5pm.
We even answer our calls in less than 90 seconds!
There’s also lots of support available on our website and through our handy smartphone app.
5. Certified vegan energy
Ecotricity is the only energy company in the world certified as vegan by both The Vegan Society and Viva!, the vegan charity.
Vegan energy is important both ethically and in the fight against the climate crisis. Animal farming is responsible for 12-19.6 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
