Energy Transfer

Over the weekend, we looked at USwitch for some comparisons on changing our electricity supplier to one who uses renewable energy. It’s a bit of a complex thing really, but basically what happens is that the energy provider promises to provide the National Grid with “clean” energy (i.e. from a renewable source, such as hydroelectric, or wind-farm) for the amount that’s been used by us. Not perfect, but better than nowt.

In the end we’ve changed over to Npower‘s Juice programme, which uses power generated at the North Hoyle wind farm.

It’s going to be interesting seeing how the transfer goes etc., but it stands to save us about £50 over the year, as well as being part of our “Green” objectives…
