(ENL) GREENWASHING ENERGY SUPPLIERS

Ofgem has today published a list of 20 energy suppliers which “overstated” the share of the renewable electricity in their fuel mix disclosures (FMD) for the period 2019-2020.

The energy regulator found that energy firms reported having supplied a total of 2,151,820MWh more electricity from renewable sources than was supported by their evidence.

Eleven suppliers were also identified to have held insufficient Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin and/or Guarantee of Origin for their 2019/20 FMD statements.

Eighteen suppliers recognised their non-compliance and agreed to pay a total of £90,000 into the Energy Industry Voluntary Redress Scheme.

The list includes energy suppliers that have exited the market.

Suppliers who held insufficient REGOs and/or GoOs to support the proportion of renewable electricity they reported to supply were:-

  • Eneco Energy Trade BV
  • ESB Energy
  • Gazprom Energy
  • Green Supplier Limited
  • HUB Energy
  • Orsted
  • Outfox the Market
  • People’s Energy
  • Pozitive Energy
  • Sinq Power
  • Symbio Energy
  • Vattenfall Energy Trading
  • Yü Energy

Suppliers who incorrectly used the UK Average Fuel Mix for their FMD statement, overstating the proportion of renewable electricity supplied were:- 

  • Ampower
  • Business Power and Gas Energy
  • Eco Green Management
  • Maxen Power
  • Northumbria Energy
  • Square1 Energy
  • Utility Point
