[edit] WhichGreen numbers
I notice that the league table for 2005 is now available and ecotricity's spend per customer is significantly lower (£901 -> £117). I'm assuming this is because their customer count has increased by a good multiple. Does anyone have the numerators and denominators (ie spend and customer count) for each company?

They estimate by the end of 2007 they will have 25,000 customers. Even at £100 per customer this is £25M on new generating capacity which is colossal for a small company.
The 2004 percentiage of "green" electricity is indeed 14.4% but this rose to 22.1% in 2005 and an estimated 30% for 2007 (though table says 2006) using figures taken from their annual report .http://www.ecotricity.co.uk/ezine/20060926/pdf/EcoReport2006.pdf
In 2007 they estimate they will generate over 70 million units of electricity from wind.
I tried but could not edit the article!
A leaflet I just got in the mail says that "96% of electricity used by us comes from renewable, green sources." So is it 30% or 96%? I'd appreciate any hints because I was considering switching to them! :) 86.140.244.53 11:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
In the 'criticism' section - someone has started to compare Ecotricity's tariff to good energy, ie. 20% vs 100% - I haven't time to look into changing it right now - but Ecotricity have two tariffs - New Energy and New Energy Plus. New Energy Plus is 100% green tariff for those that want it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.229.238.239 (talk) 18:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
