It’s increasingly important to know how the electricity supplied to you is generated. With growing pressure to reduce your carbon footprint and meet your sustainability targets, knowing the source of your energy is key to making informed decisions for your business. It also allows you to be transparent with your customers, employees and stakeholders, establishing your reputation as a reliable and responsible business.
See below for a breakdown of our energy sources and their environmental impact from April 2025 to March 2026.

About our fuel mix
Our fuel mix is the combination of energy sources used to generate electricity for business customers.
From 01 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, our fuel mix was 61% renewable. Customers on one of our renewable plans or tariffs were supplied with electricity from the grid, which was matched yearly to generation from our own wind farms, hydro plants and solar panels.
Our renewable electricity is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) and independently verified by SE Advisory Services, ensuring the highest standards of environmental integrity. As a result, customers can confidently report zero carbon emissions for their electricity consumption. This is using the market-based accounting method under Scope 2 of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
