Green Energy

Green energy comes from a renewable source and is cleaner and more sustainable than from non-renewable origins such as fossil fuels and gases. Using it is better for the environment and the more people choose green tariffs the more renewable energy will be produced. In the UK nearly half of the energy used is renewable from low carbon sources and is increasing every year, making it a realistic alternative to traditional, fossil fuel energy. 

The Energy Saving Trust https://energysavingtrust.org.uk  is an independent organisation working to address the climate emergency and advises that due to the increase in prices and the closure of some energy suppliers recently it may be best to stay with your current provider. However, comparison of energy prices and suppliers are easily available at https://www.uswitch.com If you do switch supplier why not choose a green tariff which means that some or all of the electricity you buy is ‘matched’ by purchases of renewable energy that your energy supplier makes on your behalf. These could come from a variety of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar farms, and hydroelectric power stations. Some green supply tariffs are also nuclear-free.
