Gas and Electricity Guide Do you want to know more about green energy suppliers?  Fair enough.  Energy is one of the biggest household expenses, AND a major contributor to pollution levels.  By switching to a green energy supplier, you’ll not only help prevent climate change, you may also save yourself hundreds of pounds.

How do I compare green energy suppliers?

A number of UK energy suppliers offer a variety of green energy tariffs.  Some green energy suppliers will provide you with 100% renewable electricity, which will probably be generated by windpower or hydroelectric power.

Alternatively, you can choose a green energy supplier that offsets the amount of energy you consume by providing the national grid with an equivalent amount of renewable energy.  Otherwise, you may sign up to a green energy supplier that will make contributions to environmental projects on your behalf.
