Established in 1996, Ecotricity is the founder of the UK's green energy marketplace. Ecotricity builds new
sources of green energy, supplying green gas and electricity from its wind and solar parks to more than
50,000 UK customers. The company has a track record of UK firsts, including the first multi-megawatt
wind turbine at the Ecotech centre in Norfolk and its large-scale and ground-based solar park. It also
created the 'Merchant Wind Power' (MWP) scheme, enabling companies to power their enterprises with
energy generated from turbines on their own sites. Household names such as B&Q, Sainsbury's, Ford
and Michelin have agreed power purchase agreements and are all seeing real cost saving benefits as well
as making genuine carbon reductions year in, year out. With no shareholders to answer to, it is able to
re-invest money from customers' bills back into creating new sources of green energy; turning 'bills into
mills'. Since 2010, its Green Gas tariff is also re-investing into a new generation of green biogas 'mills'.
