whatgreenhome.com allies with green energy uk

As the cost of oil continues to soar, eco-homes portal, whatgreenhome.com, is forming an alliance with green energy uk to give visitors to the site the opportunity to quickly and easily switch their home or business electricity supply to 100 per cent renewable and 100 per cent green electricity.

Until 30 September 2008, all those switching to green energy uk to supply their electricity through whatgreenhome.com will receive a free Star shower timer worth £8 and they will have the opportunity of becoming shareholders and receiving 400 shares in green energy uk when they sign up.

green energy uk provides cleaner, greener electricity and does not buy or sell any brown energy nor buy or sell any energy created by biomass from food crops. green energy uk has two tariffs to choose from: Deep Green and Pale Green.

Doug Stewart, green energy uk chief executive and co-founder, says: “It’s not just a part of our business that supports the green economy, it’s all of it. We don’t buy from coal or gas fired power stations and not just up to the Government or EU obligations. We buy to our own more stringent standards, which are 100% green. All customers of green energy uk contribute to reducing the impact of their electricity use on the environment. Our ‘Deep Green’ and ‘Pale Green’ options give customers greater choice and make green electricity more accessible.”

Doug explains: "The problem for consumers is that they are not being given the full picture or having the situation and alternatives explained to them, so their reliance on oil-derived electricity is maintained and it is holding them to ransom. If consumers start using green electricity now and the demand for it increases, the price should stabilise and be driven down."

Gordon Miller, founder and editor of whatgreenhome.com, says: “Like us, green energy uk is a young, dynamic and progressive company that has a clear and demonstrably ethical business model. Renewable and green electricity is the only sustainable future for energy provision in the UK, and it is our aim to help consumers make the switch to a green energy uk tariff in a quick, easy and convenient way through whatgreenhome.com.”
