As shareholders, its customers can make suggestions at any time to improve the business and help it grow. They can put questions to the board and attend its annual general meetings.

Green Energy UK has three home energy tariffs available: Tap, Still, and Sparkling.

• Tap — Green Energy UK's Tap tariff is variable green tariff with no standing charge; you only pay for the electricity you use via a variable monthly direct debit. There’s no exit fee should you want to switch in the middle of your contract. This tariff uses CHP (combined heat and power) fuel sources with 190g of CO2 emissions per kWh.
• Still — The Still tariff features a standing charge, but a lower unit rate than the tap tariff. It's also low-carbon, the rate of emissions from this plan is less than half the national average. Again it utilises mainly CHP as well as other green and renewable sources. There are 190g of CO2 emissions per kWh from the Still tariff.
• Sparkling — This is Green Energy UK’s most environmentally friendly tariff. The energy it uses is 100% renewable, sourced from wind, hydro, solar and organic waste material. It's also priced the same as the standard tariff in your region There are zero carbon emissions on this tariff.

Green Energy UK also launched a “time-of-use” tariff in January 2017: TIDE. TIDE encourages customers to use energy during times where there is typically high demand on the grid by lowering rates for off-peak periods.

All of Green Energy UK’s tariffs are 100% exempt from the Climate Change Levy.

Green Energy UK is committed to keeping its fuel mix 100% renewable.
