Green tariffs

A green tariff supplies all your electricity needs from renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and wave power, and doesn't cost any more than conventional electricity.

Contact your existing energy supplier and they should be able to transfer you onto a green tariff at no extra cost.

Several electricity providers can now provide you with electricity produced from renewable energy sources which can be arranged with one phone call or online. For further information visit Green Electricity Marketplace

For free advice on tariff switching telephone the Energy Efficiency Advice Centre on 0800 512 012 (freephone) or email nwlo@eeac.net.
