Advice guidesRenewable Energy Prices: An Overview
Renewable energy prices are no longer necessarily more expensive than traditional fossil fuelled generation.
In the UK we now have a number of renewable energy suppliers who provide renewable energy prices which are no more expensive than your original first tier energy supplier.
Similarly some of the big six energy suppliers offer renewable energy tariffs as part of their overall tariff portfolio and some of these are priced the same as their standard energy.
The main companies offering renewable energy prices, in alphabetical order, are:
- British Gas: Future Energy and Zero Carbon Energy
- Ecotricity: New Energy and New Energy Plus
- EDF Energy: Green
- E.ON: Go Green
- Green Energy UK: Pale Green and Deep Green
- Good Energy: 100% renewable electricity
- Npower: juice
- Scottish and Southern Energy: better plan
- ScottishPower: Green Energy H20 and Green Energy Fund
Each of these companies is committed to providing a renewable energy tariff that is affordable to every domestic energy customer.
The Energylinx green energy price comparison lets you compare the prices of each renewable energy supplier in one place, completely free of charge.
If you decide you wish to change energy supplier then you can sign up online quickly and securely to any of these tariffs.
Energylinx makes the whole process extremely simple to compare and transfer to a renewable energy supplier. We take care of everything for you, from placing your existing energy supplier on notice, setting up new direct debits (if this is your preferred payment method), monitoring the actual transfer process.
We allow you to compare the renewable energy suppliers not only by cost but more importantly by CO2 displacement. We effectively take the CO2 in grams that your current tariff is creating and then calculate how this compares with each of the selected tariffs. That way you can see immediately the environmental impact, positive or negative that you would create by changing energy supplier/tariff.
Energylinx allows domestic energy customers to compare the gas and electricity prices of all renewable energy prices to see whether or not you will need to pay any more than you do now.
