Understanding how your electricity is generated is crucial for reporting carbon emissions and showcasing sustainability. We provide a detailed fuel mix for our conventional products and our renewable products, ensuring transparency about your energy supply.
The charts below show our fuel mix for April 2023 to March 2024. Data for April 2024 to March 2025 will be available late 2025.
Renewable Product Fuel Mix
Our renewable products are powered by clean generation including natural sources such as wind, solar and hydro. Every megawatt hour we supply to customers on our renewable products is backed with a renewable origin certificate, independently verified by The Carbon Trust. Figures for our renewable fuel mix as illustrated in the chart are Biomass 54%, Hydro 42%, Solar 4%.
Carbon Trust Accreditation
Our renewable electricity products offer unrivalled transparency and are independently verified by The Carbon Trust to confirm that every megawatt hour is backed by UK-recognised renewable certificates, which we aim to source from small renewable generation projects.
Conventional Product Fuel Mix
Once we have allocated our renewable fuel across the products above, what remains is the residual fuel mix for our conventional products, which is predominantly from grid sources. Figures for our conventional fuel mix as illustrated in the chart are Natural Gas 68%, Coal 15%, Nuclear 11%, Other 7%.
