About our fuel mix disclosure
Ofgem requires UK energy suppliers to disclose the mix of fuels they use to generate the electricity they supply to customers each year via the Fuel Mix Disclosure (FMD). The FMD is reported retrospectively.
We keep the figures on this page updated in line with the publishing dates of the Government's fuel mix data disclosure data table, as defined in the Electricity (Fuel Mix Disclosure) Regulations 2005.
Our renewable energy is backed by UK-certified renewable certificates of origin, which means that any renewable energy you buy from us is matched with the equivalent amount of units from renewable sources.
