Help support community energy every time you boil the kettle

Hero

We’re proud to announce that Co-op Energy’s ground-breaking ‘Community Power’ tariff is now available through Big Clean Switch.

That means the electricity you use at home can help support community energy projects all over Great Britain.

As well as being over £160 a year cheaper than a Big Six standard variable deal*, every unit of electricity you use on the Community Power tariff is guaranteed to be backed by renewable electricity sourced from community energy projects. That means every time you boil the kettle or turn on the TV, you’re helping to support local renewable projects all over the country!

Plus, Co-op Energy fully offset the carbon emissions from your gas, too.

What is community energy?

Community energy schemes literally put power in the hands of local people. Communities all over Great Britain are coming together to build their own wind turbines, solar farms or hydro schemes. By selling the electricity they generate, they raise money that can be channelled back into local communities, ensuring local people have control over their future energy supply, and supporting other carbon reduction projects.
