�ʹ��app've been fighting climate change for 30 years

When we launched in 1995, we were Britain’s only green energy company and we founded the global green energy movement.

Since then we’ve grown and grown, building wind and solar farms to power homes and businesses across the country. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary we continue to lead the way with pioneering innovations in green energy.

On 13 December 1996, the first of many truly magic moments in the history of Ecotricity took place. �ʹ��app completed our first ever windmill. And it’s been turning ever since.

In 2002, we added two more windmills to our collection. Situated near Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire, they were the first in the county and began turning in July.

Up until 2003, we’d only ever supplied energy to businesses, but never homes. Finally, we were ready and able to supply green electricity to homes across Britain.

In 2007, Al Gore presented our founder Dale Vince with the Ashden UK Award for work in the area of renewable energy.

On 1 August 2013, we introduced 100% green electricity for all our customers. Up until that point we had two tariffs �� New Energy, which was about 60% green; and New Energy Plus, which was 100% green for a small extra cost.

Ecotricity became the first energy supplier to offer vegan electricity certified by Viva! and The Vegan Society in 2018.

In 2022, we built two new sun parks in Bulkworthy (near Galsworthy Farm), Devon and Dalby, Leicestershire, with the latest solar panel technology, next to our existing wind parks at both sites.

Recently, we completed the build of our very first green gasmill in Reading. Creating green gas made from grass, the mill is now feeding into the National Grid and will provide enough green gas to supply 6,000 homes.
