We are required to provide information about the mix of fuels used to generate the electricity we supply to our customers.

This is a deep green source tariff that matches 100% of the electricity that you use with a supply from renewable power. We support a number of technologies, small scale hydro, solar, organic waste gasification, energy crops, pig waste, vegetable oil and wind to name a few. All this power qualifies for Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCS) under the Renewables Obligation.

These CHP generators have been awarded accreditation by the regulator, Ofgem for producing cleaner, more environmentally friendly power.
