Frequently Asked Questions about Natural Renewable Electricity
How does Natural Renewable Electricity get to my business?
When renewable electricity is created, it's fed into the grid and mixed with electricity from non-renewable sources. This means we can't send solely renewable electricity directly to your business, unless you are directly connected to the generation source.
Instead, for 100% of the energy you use, we guarantee that the same amount of energy from renewable sources will be fed into the grid. This is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) as evidence2.
What are REGOs?
REGOs are official documents that are issued by Ofgem, the energy industry regulator. They provide evidence that units of electricity were generated using renewable sources, like solar, wind and hydropower.
Can I be confident in my renewable status?
We work with the Carbon Trust and their assured process of tracking and allocating guarantees of origin certificates. This ensures we never allocate the same guarantee to the electricity consumption of more than one customer or use guarantees from a different reporting year to match with your renewable electricity supply. This gives you complete confidence in the quality and origin of your renewable status.

Additional information
100% Renewable Electricity: Every unit of electricity British Gas supply to you during your contract will be matched to electricity from a natural renewable energy source and we will hold the necessary number of Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin(REGOs) as evidence of this supply. British Gas will use reasonable endeavours to purchase enough REGOs to match 100% of the electricity you use on this tariff. However, failure to provide you with REGOs, in whole or in part, will not constitute a breach of contract by British Gas or give rise to you having the right to terminate the supply contract and, in such circumstances, British Gas reserves the right to provide the balance of your electricity supply with its Zero Carbon product. In the event something changes, and British Gas can no longer guarantee any of your supply being provided via REGOs we will write and let you know. Excludes the British Gas Lite product and non-contracted customers.
We offer Zero Carbon Electricity for Business Fixed Price Plans. Backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin and nuclear declarations. Helping to deliver on the UK's climate commitment and supporting our aim to help our customers achieve Net Zero by 2050. Excludes the British Gas Lite product.
