Here at green energy uk, we want green and renewable energy to become mainstream.
So, not only can our prices compete with other green utilities, but with the Big
Six 'brown' suppliers, too. That way, we hope there'll be no obstacles
to making the switch.
You might be wondering how our prices can be so low. We've managed this by keeping
all of our costs to a minimum. In particular, we've made sure our prices are
not loaded with the hidden cost of advertising and marketing. We think our business
can speak for itself.

Okay, so here's the technical part. Electricity is delivered through the National
Grid, from wherever it is generated. Your green energy is not supplied directly
to your home but is fed into the National Grid, replacing traditional (brown) energy.
When you switch to green energy
uk, we will buy green electricity on your behalf. As more
people opt to buy green energy, the supply of clean renewable energy available on
the National Grid increases and the demand for fossil fuel electricity diminishes.
Distribution via the National Grid ensures that we can offer the same guarantee
of uninterrupted supply, and that the reliability and quality of your electricity
remains constant, as regulated by Ofgem (Office of Gas and Electricity Markets).

Whatever your query, be it big or small, our team will be happy to hear from you.
Not only are we firm believers in good-quality, human customer service, but we are
also given regular check-ups by Ofgem (the government body in charge of the energy
industry) to ensure we're looking after you properly. So, for problems about
your electricity supply, or the service you’re receiving, don’t hesitate to call
0800 783 8851.
-
You should notify us in the event that your supply or billing address changes. If
you provide us with your new supply address we can continue to provide green electricity
to your new home or business premises. If you move house within three years of becoming
a customer, but continue to use green
energy uk as your supplier, you will retain any
shares that you received on first joining us.
-
Don't worry. The entire industry is regulated by Ofgem, which assures that customers
of all electricity suppliers receive a reliable and uninterrupted supply. Green
energy are required by law to comply with strict regulations that ensure customers
get value for money and a reliable service. Because of the Ofgem (Office of Gas
and Electricity Markets) regulation, even if an electricity company were to fail,
your power supply cannot be cut off. You would continue to be supplied electricity
from the National Grid, and you would be allocated to another electricity supplier
and could then choose whether to stay, or to change to another supplier.
-
No, as a domestic or small business user you can settle your account and change
supplier at any time. If you do not remain with us for a minimum of three years
from the switching date you will forfeit any shares you received on becoming a customer.

All electricity usage is charged by the kilowatt-hour, or unit, plus a standing
charge to 'distribute' electricity to your home. Making price comparisons
can be difficult and confusing, so we've tried to make it simple and transparent.
Tariffs must be published and you can view ours on the
choice of tariffs
page of this website.

Sure. Direct Debits are paid from your account every month, but we send you a bill
each quarter to let you know how much electricity you have used and as a statement
of your account. If you want extra brownie points why not opt for paperless e-billing
and save using any paper whatsoever!
-
Your initial direct debit is based on national average data. The monthly direct
debit amount is reviewed after being a customer for 4 months, your account is then
reviewed every 12 months. But if you have any concerns over the amount, you can
take a reading at any time and request a review. One of the advantages of monthly
direct debits is that it smooths out the cost of the more expensive winter months
with the cheaper summer months.
-
Once you have joined, a meter reading is taken. Subsequent readings are done at
least once a year. However, if at any time between readings you become concerned
over the accuracy of the estimates, you can take a meter reading yourself, and send
it to us. We will then review your estimates.

Green gas is not currently available through the UK gas grid so currently the answer
is no.
There is a fair amount of hype and anticipation regarding the UK's ability to
accept biogas into the gas grid system.
If it can be done, there is the potential to heat half of the UK's homes with
Biogas from waste – something we know a thing or two about!
As a company that prides itself on only buying green energy, we can’t see the ethical,
moral or commercial benefit of supplying brown gas. That's not to say we don't
accept people use it, we just feel that until green gas is available in the UK,
we will stick to our values and supply only green fuel.
When we can offer gas which meets our green requirements, we'll do everything
we can to make it happen for our customers.
