Misconceptions About Renewable Tariffs
Good Energy’s research surveyed 2,000 consumers, specifically those on 100% renewable tariffs. Over half of respondents (54%) believed their energy supplier sources all of its electricity directly from renewable sources such as wind and solar farms. However, due to the way the UK’s energy market operates, most suppliers buy energy from a general pool, which includes both renewable and fossil fuel-generated electricity.
Calls for Greater Transparency
Consumer demand for clearer communication is evident. The research found that 73% of respondents support stronger regulations on green claims made by energy companies, and 38% believe energy companies are more likely to engage in greenwashing than businesses in other industries. The findings suggest that consumers are wary of sustainability-related marketing and want clearer, verifiable information about the energy they use.
