E.ON today announced it is now providing all of its residential customers across Britain (representing 3.3 million homes) with a 100% renewable electricity supply, on all tariffs as standard, and at no extra cost.

E.ON said that it is directly supplying a large proportion of this renewable electricity through its own renewable generation fleet, as well as agreements with independent wind generators around the country to directly purchase the electricity produced. "The remaining electricity used by customers is matched with 100% renewable electricity sourced externally through such things as renewable electricity guarantee certificates from the likes of wind, biomass and solar sources. These certificates guarantee that an equivalent amount of renewable electricity was generated to the amount supplied," the company said

E.ON owns more than 20 onshore and offshore wind farms in the UK, as well as biomass plants in Scotland and South Yorkshire.

"E.ON already offers a range of efficient and smart home offers including insulation, smart thermostats, solar and battery technology, heat pumps and electric vehicle chargers," the company said
