How green is your business electricity?
Business electricity customers will be able to see just how green their ‘renewable’ electricity really is thanks to a new labelling scheme introduced by OfGem from today.
Called the Green Energy Certification scheme, the system means any electricity supplier claiming to be green will now have to prove their credentials.
While this is good news for business electricity customers who are concerned about using renewable energy sources, the scheme has not been met with universal approval – with many organisations saying it doesn’t go far enough.
Ecotricity, a small energy supplier, told the Daily Telegraph that they did not have to do much in order to win their green accreditation, and accused the scheme of being misleading.
I think anything that provides business electricity customers with more knowledge about what they’re paying for can only be a good thing; making an informed choice about business energy suppliers is what Energy Advice Line is all about.
If you have concerns about your energy supplier, contact a member of the EAL today for impartial and knowledgeable advice about what business energy tariff best suits your business.
