Greener Energy is cheaper than you think!

At Cheaper Business Energy we know that many companies would like to consider using green energy, but are often put off due to many factors such as price and simply not knowing which suppliers to approach. We obtain tenders from advertised 100% green energy suppliers such as Ecotricity and Good Energy, but few people are aware that they can source a limited amount of 100% green energy from most of the other suppliers as well. Other Benefits of using 100% Green Energy include the fact that your business will be exempt from paying Climate Charge Levy, and can display a 100% green approval certificate.

Cheaper Business Energy are experts in obtaining lower green energy costs which will not just reduce your bills and give you peace of mind, but also help the UK reduce carbon emissions.
Green energy is renewable energy which comes from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, and geothermal heat, which are renewable(naturally replenished).
There are a number of suppliers offering ‘green’ electricity in the United Kingdom, either supplying electricity from existing environmentally friendly renewable sources, promising to invest a proportion of profits into new renewable generating capacity, carrying out carbon offsetting, or some combination of these approaches.
As an impartial tendering service, Cheaper Business Energy obtains prices from all the Green Energy Suppliers, as well as 100% Green Energy tenders from the vast majority of the main UK suppliers.

Renewables Obligation

Within the United Kingdom suppliers are legally obliged to purchase a proportion of their electricity from renewable sources under the Renewables Obligation and there is a danger that energy suppliers may sell such green electricity under a premium ‘green energy’ tariff, rather than sourcing additional green electricity supplies. In addition to selling the green electricity to the consumer, it is also possible for the supplier to sell the associated Renewables Obligation certificates to another supplier who has failed to meet their quota, rather than ‘retiring’ the certificate from the marketplace.

Climate Change Levy

Non-domestic consumers can avoid paying the Climate Change Levy by acquiring Levy Exemption Certificates from renewable energy suppliers. Since these are not required by domestic consumers, it is possible for the supplier to sell the certificates to the non-domestic sector, as well as selling the renewables obligation certificate and the electricity.

Carbon offsetting

In other cases green energy tariffs may involve Carbon Offsetting, rather than purchasing or investing in renewable energy.
