Who we are, what we do, and why we do it …
We are an independent renewable energy company based in Wiltshire.
We have strong ethical values and are fighting hard in a dirty market full of big dinosaurs.
We were started by a group of people who are committed to addressing climate change. Which is largely driven by CO2 emissions. Burning fossil fuels to generate ELECTRICITY is the biggest contributor to CO2 emissions (see the chart…) Electricity supply seemed a good place to start. So we started a renewable electricity supply business and took it from there. That was nine years ago. Renewable energy OUR MISSION is to fight climate change by EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS to make a difference, easily and instantly, by giving them practical ways to make positive changes in their attitude towards energy, and the way they use it:
- switching to pure 100% renewable electricity
- improving their energy efficiency
- generating their own renewable energy, and
- playing a part in the campaign for renewable energy in the UK
