Making the Switch 20 Feb 07
Here in Northern Ireland, we have the choice of a grand total of one electricity supplier. So much for healthy competition.
However, its not all bad. That one supplier, Northern Ireland Electricity, offers a “green” electricity option called Eco Energy, and according to their website:
“Choosing Eco Energy means that some, or all, of your electricity will be supplied from renewable sources. NIE matches each unit of electricity that you use with renewable energy from a wind farm in Northern Ireland. This means that correspondingly fewer units of electricity will be produced in a power station from fossil fuels.”
What’s more, there is no extra cost when opting for the Eco Energy tariff over the normal electricity costs. So with absolutely nothing to lose and only one small form to fill in, we’re now signed up for Eco Energy.
