Question 1

What is green energy procurement?

Accepted Answer

Green energy procurement is buying electricity and gas from renewable sources to reduce a business's environmental impact. The contracts are backed by certificates: Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) for electricity and biomethane certificates (RGGOs) for gas. Your spend supports renewable generators such as wind farms, solar parks and anaerobic digestion plants, and you can claim the carbon reductions in your sustainability reporting. Fidelity Energy sources both, at whatever share suits you.

Question 2

What qualifies as 100% green electricity through Fidelity Energy?

Accepted Answer

Electricity counts as 100% green through Fidelity Energy when it comes from 100% renewable generators, specifically wind and hydro assets, and every tariff is backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) or a Guarantee of Origin certificate. That gives a clear audit trail: for every unit of power your business consumes, a unit of renewable energy was generated and fed into the grid.

Question 3

How does green gas (biomethane) differ from standard natural gas?

Accepted Answer

Green gas, or biomethane, differs from natural gas in its source, not in how it works. It is a renewable gas made from organic matter such as agricultural waste, grass and landfill sites, refined to strict quality standards and injected into the existing gas grid. It has the same chemical characteristics as fossil natural gas, so your boilers and equipment need no changes. Fidelity Energy can blend it into your gas at any level.

Question 4

Can green energy procurement help us reach Net Zero and ESG targets?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A green energy tariff is one of the most effective ways to lower your carbon footprint. With REGO-backed electricity, your business can report zero Scope 2 emissions on a market basis under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Standard, and green gas can significantly reduce your Scope 1 emissions. Fidelity Energy prices each blend side by side, so you see what every step towards your Net Zero and ESG targets costs.

Question 5

Is green energy significantly more expensive than standard "brown" energy?

Accepted Answer

Green energy is now highly competitive with standard energy, although there was once a wider price gap. More renewable generation and the rising cost of carbon emissions from fossil fuels have narrowed it. Fidelity Energy uses its supplier relationships and market access to find green tariffs that fit your budget, often with better long-term value and more protection from fossil fuel price volatility.

Question 6

Do I need to install any new equipment to switch to a green energy tariff?

Accepted Answer

No. Switching to green electricity or green gas needs no new equipment or on-site installation, because it is an administrative change rather than a physical one. Your energy is still delivered through the National Grid and local distribution networks, so your supply stays constant and reliable. Only your billing and carbon accounting change. Fidelity Energy handles the switch from start to finish.
