No. As standard in Great Britain, electricity is generally supplied to properties via National Grid’s transmission network, and local distribution system operator’s (DSO) networks – not directly from any specific renewable (or non-renewable) generator. Great Britain uses multiple sources for electricity generation, from renewables, to nuclear to fossil fuels, which means that all sites are provided with electricity from the whole mix of generation sources that the grid is being supplied with at that time, even when you have a renewable electricity contract*.

For customers on our zero carbon, 100% renewable annually matched electricity contracts*, we purchase and manage Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates to match their supplied electricity volume, plus the Government’s annual estimated loss factor volume to account for electricity ‘lost’ through the UK’s Transmission & Distribution (T&D) Networks. For every 1 MWh of renewable electricity* produced, a REGO certificate is issued to the generator, which we purchase and manage. This ensures that, although electricity consumed will come from a mix of generation sources on the grid, an equivalent amount to customers’ supplied electricity was generated from Solar, Wind and/or Hydro renewable assets in Great Britain at any time within that given compliance year.

Using Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin certificates (REGOs) is currently the only official mechanism recognised by DESNZ (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) in Great Britain for tracking renewable electricity for electricity Suppliers’ Fuel Mix reporting purposes.
