There are several myths surrounding green energy tariffs and how they work.
According to Which?, a third of customers believe if an energy tariff is green or renewable, they will have 100% renewable electricity supplied to their home.
Another 11% believe a supplier generates some of the renewable electricity it sells, and 8% believe it generates all of it.
In reality, if you choose a green energy tariff, you still get your electricity from the National Grid in the same way as a customer on a standard non-green tariff. Electricity is generated from a range of sources – some of which is renewable – and this is mixed together in the National Grid and then supplied to people’s homes.
