Uswitch contributes to the Government's announcement to tighten rules to stop 'greenwashing' of electricity tariffs
Uswitch contributed the following statement as part of the Government's announcement to tighten rules to stop 'greenwashing' of electricity tariffs.
How energy retailers market ‘green’ electricity tariffs to consumers will be reviewed, amid concerns that some are overstating how environmentally friendly their products are.
Richard Neudegg, Head of Regulation at Uswitch.com, said:
Transparency is key to bring consumers on the journey to net zero. Households want to do their bit to help the environment, so it’s vital to make it as simple as possible for them to confidently pick the tariffs that actually help to support renewable energy.
More and more people are purchasing green tariffs but it’s been difficult for bill-payers to know exactly what’s under the hood of these deals. We support any measures that aim to demystify green tariffs for households.
