Go Green and Give Back with Bristol Energy

By Ruth Morris  Wednesday Dec 7, 2016

Bristol Energy www.bristol-energy.co.uk has become the first energy company in the country to offer 100% green electricity and reinvest its profits back into local communities. 

Bristol has already cemented its reputation as a green and innovative city – as the first city in the country to be granted European Green Capital, more cyclists than any other UK city and the lowest CO2 emissions of any major UK city too. 

It’s now leading an energy revolution. As one of the first municipal energy supply companies in the country, Bristol Energy will reinvest its profits back into its founding city.

It’s the first company of its kind to offer customers renewable energy too, meaning you can choose green, and make a positive difference on your doorstep too. 

And it is challenging its competitors to put customers first.

Peter Haigh, MD of Bristol Energy, said:

The energy market is broken. Two thirds of people remain on expensive deals, and energy companies just aren’t doing enough to either save their customers money, or give them choice.

“By offering a 100% green tariff at a fair price, we hope more people will choose energy that’s kinder to the planet, and to local communities.”

Bristol Energy gets its renewable energy from generators across the country, from a local factory with solar panels on its roof to a National Trust hydroelectricity site in Snowdonia, North Wales.

Bristol Energy customer Tom, from Eastville said: “When I saw that Bristol Energy had a 100% green option, it seemed an obvious choice. Every step away from coal and nuclear is worth taking. It also saved me money, but knowing where that money goes was the most important thing for me.

“One of the reasons I moved to Bristol was how much people seem to care about people. Supporting Bristol Energy is just another great way to support Bristol as a community.”
