Get a couple more electric cars, you could get that up to 90% .
WALOB.

Might be struggling with renewables this week with so little wind?The maths ain't exactly clear here.
Ecotricity claim to supply 100% renewable energy....
Now, unless they're supplying 105% energy, with them buying 5% gas from Russia, then that claim can't be true, can it??
In fact, this web page of theirs, claims they use 0% Natural gas in their mix.
Our fuel mix
Ecotricity supplies 100% green electricity, generated by renewable sources including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar and hydro-electric powerwww.ecotricity.co.uk
Smoke and mirrors...
I'm not sure how a third and fourth EV is going to help.....

I think you're clutching at straws . I will email my mate Dale and ask him how much he pays each year to farmers.

I'm curious, did your mate email you back? Difficult to believe this was a month ago...
Yo delilahIt would get that % figure up, which makes the point that its a meaningless figure.
tbh I haven't done it, I will, thanks for the prod.
edit: sent.
Yo Dale
I would appear to be in a minority of one here:

Can you give me any figures to back up my assertion: Pro rata, I would wager Ecotricity pumps more money into UK ag than any other energy provider.
Thanks in anticipation, keep up the good work, and don’t blow promotion !
Yours etc.
Nope, there are plenty companies out there that will sell you electrons that are apportioned to wind and solar without giving any money to that shower of charlatans. Pick the right one and you can save money on it too.
As an aside, Dale Vince paid the students to invade Premiership football games recently wearing “Stop Oil” T shirts
only the one at the Everton game got on the pitch and cable tied himself to a goalpost … failed at Arsenal and Wolves
No agenda there then
Forest Green owner 'accidentally' funded Just Stop Oil protesters who halted PL games
Forest Green owner Dale Vince admitted to talkSPORT that he funded the ‘Just Stop Oil’ protesters who targeted Premier League matches earlier this month. Everton’s 1-0 win over Ne…talksport.com
Remind us, the owners of Everton.....
And there I was thinking that the charged electrons that I'd bought from a "green" energy supplier were mine and mine alone and that they went all the way down the wires from the point of production to my point of consumption.Gods! Scrolling through real quick it's apparent that there are a lot of people here who doesn't understand how the electric grid works so here's a highly simplified short example. (I've only skimmed the thread so I apologise if this has already been explained.)
Let's say I invent a magical cold fusion reactor and then build a test plant putting out 100kw to the grid. I can now go to someone connected to the grid and sell them up to 100kw of power and market it as 100% carbon-free fusion power!!
In reality my customer receives a little bit of power from all the various power generators on the grid so that includes a bit of nuclear, a bit of gas, etc etc.
In other words you are really paying someone to put a certain type of power into the grid, not to deliver only to you.
What this power company is doing is promising to not buy any power from a power plant using animal products to produce said power, they are not promising that you won't get any other's electrons...
And if they market their power as being from wind and solar without buying power from them they are committing a crime...
Criminal oligarchs ... but we know that.
What spiel?or I would have been if i'd fallen for the speel of the green energy suppliers
