Government to review reform claim of 100% renewable energy sale to consumers.
Call on Government to review and reform the current wholesale electricity market, to increase transparency on energy companies claiming their energy is 100% renewable source when over 50% of the energy being produced is clearly hedged against fossil fuels.
Consumer spending needs to be a major consideration in the shift to a net zero carbon future. Over 70% of people believe that what they do, how they live and what they buy can have an affect on carbon reduction.
Subscribing to a 100% renewable energy tarriff the consumer expects that energy from a 100% renewable source. Thus increasing the pot of funding in renewable energy infrastructure such as wind, solar, geothermal, green hydrogen and reducing the energy from fossil fuels long term.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
In September 2021, the Government announced that the Competition and Markets Authority will carry out a full review of misleading green claims, both on and offline, at the start of 2022.
During that period, the Government published a "Green Claims Code" to help businesses comply with the law in any claims about their environmental impact.
