Green Energy UK Reviews, Prices & Tariffs
Green Energy UK’s mission is to challenge the idea that ‘being green’ is a big commitment. Its tariffs are designed to remove the effort and the costs associated with becoming environmentally friendly by making their prices as competitive as possible.
Green Energy UK sources its energy supply from the most eco-friendly sources possible, from wind and solar to energy generated from growing tomatoes. With a wide range of sources, it’s able to ensure its prices are competitive among the entire utility industry — not just other green providers.
By minimising the cost of switching to sustainable energy, Green Energy UK is doing its part to lead the UK towards a carbon-neutral future.

Green Energy UK prices and tariffs
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.
