Ecotricity

Ecotricity is an electricity company with a difference. As green energy pioneers, the company is dedicated to building new sources of renewable energy to fight climate change.

Ecotricity take the money their customers spend on electricity and invest it in clean forms of power like wind energy. For the last three years they have invested more per customer in building new sources of renewable energy than any other UK supplier. In fact in 2006 they invested more per customer than all the other suppliers put together and in 2007 alone they invested £25 million in wind energy.

Over the next twelve months they're planning to more than double their electricity generation as new wind power projects are built creating enough green energy to power another 20,000 homes.

Ecotricity is recommended by the Soil Association, Christian Aid, the Cooperative Bank and WWF-UK, the latter stating that the only credible model for customers investing in new wind projects via their bill payments comes from Ecotricity.

The company also won the prestigious Ashden Award for Energy Business in 2007.
