Green Energy

Being "green" has never had a higher profile. So by using energy more wisely and looking at alternative energy sources, you are not only doing your bit for the enviromnent, you are giving a competitive edge to your company and saving money too!

You are probably aware that the climate change levy (CCL) is a newly introduced tax on energy. But did you know that by using green energy +10 or green energy 100 you can eliminate it. So by switching to green energy, you reduce your taxation and enjoy the economic and environmental benefits of saving energy.

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.

How is green energy generated?

There are a number of renewable generation methods which produce green energy: solar power, wave/tidal generation hydroelectricity, and wind energy.  The UK has, in the form of wind power, the largest renewable green energy resource in Europe, according to the British Wind energy association.
