We are proud of the fact that we only supply green and renewable electricity from
a diverse range of sources and technologies.
We buy electricity from non nuclear British sources.
Our company fuel mix splits as follows:
- CHP 64%
- Waste 21%
- Anaerobic Digestion 10%
- Hydro 4%
- Wind < 1%
- Solar < 1%
We have two tariffs available:
100% green electricity
The electricity in our Pale tariff comes from something called 'combined
heat and power'.
Put simply: when power plants make electricity, they give off a lot of heat at the
same time. This heat would otherwise go to waste, but green
energy uk's suppliers harness
it and put it to good use.
We get our CHP from some rather surprising sources, too. Would you believe that
growing tomatoes or heating water can also help power your home?
This is a low carbon tariff; the carbon emissions per kWh of electricity are less than half the national average.
And all this for the same price as your regional electricity company!
Environmental Impact
CO2 emissions 190g per kWh
Radioactive waste 0.00000g per kWh
100% renewable electricity
Our Deep tariff is as green as you can get. Using the power of falling water, the
sun, the wind, and organic waste material, we provide energy that is 100% renewable.
Not only is this tariff renewable, but it helps to clean up and make use of waste
products. Some of our generators even use pig poo, skip waste and used chip fat
to make electricity! Brownie points all round.
So how much to clean up your conscience? Less than 50p a week extra. Bargain.
Environmental Impact
CO2 emissions - NIL
Radioactive waste 0.00000g per kWh
green energy uk facilitates investment into renewable technologies by creating demand for this green electricity.
