Energy

Yes the impact of your energy consumption can be reduced.

REDUCE

  • You can make an informed choice about whether to buy your electricity generated from;
    • renewable energy
    • nuclear power
    • coal power stations
    • gas power stations
       
  • Since 2005, suppliers have been required to publish information on how the electricity that they supply to domestic customers is generated. Check out the Fuel Mix of UK Domestic Electricity Suppliers and choose cleaner energy for your home / business.
     
  • uSwitch is a free, impartial and independent price comparison service that helps consumers compare gas & electricity prices from all energy suppliers and switch to a better deal. Since 2006 uSwitch has been fully accredited by the Ofgem Confidence Code. uSwitch provides the ability for customers to compare energy suppliers online, over the phone, via the post and on a mobile App. So, saving money on energy bills couldn’t be simpler.

  • Electricity travels at the speed of light -- more than 186,000 miles per second!
  • The first four common domestic items to be powered by electricity were the sewing machine, fan, kettle and toaster.
