Buy Green Electricity and help us create a community fund

Ecotricity, based in Stroud, Gloucestershire is the largest independent and ethically focussed green energy company with over 131,000 domestic customers. Its profits are ploughed back into building new sources of green electricity such as wind power and solar parks.

Ecotricity is partnering with organisations that have a like minded membership profile such as Christian Aid, the RSPB, Friends of the Earth, World Development Movement, and Sustainable Crediton . The energy provider has ambitious targets to convert tens of thousands of homes to Ecotricity each year.

We recommend Ecotricity because unlike any other national electricity supplier, Ecotricity only generates renewable energy so that every penny you spend with them is invested in new wind or solar energy, £50 Million in the last 7 years. In August 2013 Ecotricity launched its new 100% green electricity tariff for all customers called Green Electricity. They have also announced that from September 2013 that their gas would be free of shale gas. Their "frack free" gas promise is to never buy fracked gas or invest in it. Their intention is to provide customers with Green Gas from food waste via anaerobic digestion .

If you switch your electricity to Ecotricity, Sustainable Crediton will receive a £40 donation. Or if you switch gas and electricity Sustainable Crediton will receive £60. Please quote the code SC1 when switching. Sustainable Crediton will use the donations to build a community fund to supply a community building eg school, village hall, library with for example a solar hot water heating system or energy efficiency measures.

Thank you.
