As standard in Great Britain, electricity to all properties is supplied via National Grid’s transmission network, and local distribution system operator’s (DSO) networks – not directly from any specific renewable generator. Great Britain uses multiple sources for electricity generation, from renewables, to nuclear to fossil fuels, which means that 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 contract.
To supply customers with zero carbon 100% renewable electricity*, we purchase and manage Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificates to match their contracted electricity volume – this ensures that an equivalent amount to your supplied electricity was generated from renewable assets in Great Britain in that given compliance year.
Using Renewable Energy Guarantee 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.
