We have been with Green Energy UK for five years and initially we lived in a house with an unconventional electricity supply (with a wind turbine and battery backup). Setting up an electricity supply backup through the grid meant a lot of advice from the professionals and at Green Energy we were dealing with a person from the moment the phone was answered. Kind, friendly and helpful advice was always available. Now we have a conventional system and so far with no problems, but our energy still has an Eco-friendly source and if we do need help there is a person at the end of the phone. Perfect.

Been with Green Energy for over 2 years and despite the unfortunate price rise recently still the best value for me. My bills are no more than £28.00 a month! Also good to know with a company that cares for the environment. Only issue I have is trying to get a smart meter which I am told as an electricity customer only I am not entitled to one. Would be great to see my energy usage and also sometimes I forget to submit a meter reading so get estimates on my bill which are normally between 50 – 100 units lower than actual.

I have been a customer for years and find their customer service excellent. I just emailed them to check they’d received my metre readings and got a personal reply from a named person within about two minutes. I joined because I don’t want to pay money to the big polluting energy companies and while they don’t have the same mix of renewable energies as a couple of the bigger green energy companies, they cleverly make use of otherwise ‘wasted’ energy from various sources – ingenious! You do feel better feeling that you’re using greener energy and their customer service makes life a lot less stressful. I also have gas through them. Maybe it’s a tiny bit more expensive than standard suppliers (though I haven’t calculated that) but it’s no more than the price of a pint or two. Well worth it.

I like the TIDE tariff, which charges more at peak times and much less overnight – it’s the future. Time of Use tariffs encourage us to shift consumption to abundant, cheap night-time electricity, where possible – like using washing machine, water-heating, heat pump, e-car charging. By discouraging inessential use 4-7pm on weekdays, the national peak load will be reduced, so fewer power stations and pylons will be needed – benefiting us all with reduced environmental and electricity costs. Green Energy UK fitted our Smart Meter and now we can see much more detail of our electricity consumption online. Thanks.

I have been with this supplier for over a year now, their customer service is excellent, the staff are very polite and helpful. I had a few issues at the start with my tariff being set incorrectly (Not Green’s fault – Scottish Power, my previous supplier didn’t pass on the correct information). Edd and Ria managed to resolve this for me straight away. I also had no issues whatsoever with exchanging my meter to smart, the girls on the Metering Department Claudia/Shauna & Louisa were brilliant at organising this for me, they allocated me a time/date that was convenient for me. Keep up the good work Green Energy UK!

Switched from British Gas earlier this year, I thought it would be much more expensive to go green, but we’re finding our bills are much cheaper. We’re on the full renewable tariff. I get an email with my bill every month which I can open directly as a pdf, so I don’t have to log in to my account (which I always had to do with British Gas). The customer service team are excellent and very friendly, also I don’t have to listen to a lot of automated nonsense that I’m not interested in. Hooray for Green Energy, a thoroughly refreshing company
