Many energy tariffs presented as green are “misleading” consumers as they are not 100% renewable, according to new research from switching site Compare the Market. The analysis of 54 dual fuel green tariffs found that only 37 offer 100% electricity supplied from renewable sources. Only six tariffs meanwhile offer 100% renewable energy across both gas and electricity. A further 12 tariffs provide either 15 or 25% of the gas a household consumes from renewable sources, and 30% of the tariffs do not provide any gas from renewable sources at all. The research also suggests that the market availability of green energy tariffs is failing to meet demand.
