Electricity from renewable sources
All electricity suppliers are required to buy a proportion of their electricity from renewable sources – a 'renewable obligation' - 9.7% for 2009-10 and 11.1% for 2010-11.
The regulator, Ofgem, has felt it necessary to take steps to allay suspicions that some suppliers were using their separate green tariffs to charge extra for the electricity that they are in any case required to buy from renewable sources.

If you would like to contribute to the growth of renewable sources of electricity, over and above the Government’s legislation, you need to buy electricity from a supplier who already exceeds the renewable obligation.
Green Energy UK is one such company and has the additional benefit of being based locally in Ware.

A great deal for you and the environment
Discounts from Green Energy UK
3VEG has negotiated a great deal for residents in the three villages. Green Energy UK will give a discount of 10% on their unit rates. If enough people sign up, that will also help 3VEG activities. You have two alternatives to choose from, and we urge you to choose the carbon neutral option – Deep Green.
Choose Deep Green – carbon neutral
To ensure that your electricity involves no emissions of CO2, the Deep Green tariff is for electricity entirely from renewable sources, such as solar, wind, hydro and waste gasification.
Choose Pale Green - cheaper, but less good for the environment.
This tariff uses electricity from combined heat and power units, many fired by natural gas. Although natural gas is not a renewable source, the process is highly efficient. CO2 emissions are 190g per kWh, compared with a national average of 460g.
