“I have always wanted to change to a renewable energy company but was daunted by the process. Big Clean Switch made it very easy and answered all of my questions politely and patiently! The chat box helpline was fantastic and the same advisor helped me right up until I had switched.”

What is green energy?

‘Green energy’ means power generated from the elements – sun, wind, water (rivers, tides or wave power) and biofuels (gas released by rotting food and agricultural waste). Unlike dirty electricity generated by burning fossil fuels (oil, coal and gas), green energy is renewable and has little impact in terms of climate change and air pollution.

There are lots of energy providers in the UK offering green energy, but they’re not all equally environmentally-friendly. We verify the claims of all the companies that we offer to ensure that they’re greenwash-free and provide 100% renewable energy.

How do green energy tariffs work?

Picture the National Grid like a bucket full of water.* When you’re on a renewable tariff, your supplier promises to match the amount you take out of the bucket by putting the same amount of clean water in. The more clean water that goes into the bucket (and the less dirty water), the cleaner the bucket, and therefore the Grid, gets.
 

Just like with traditional energy, green tariffs use electricity from the National Grid, so even if the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing, you will still have reliable power for your home.
