How green is E Energy?

E Energy’s main selling points are low prices and a simple, straightforward approach. The company doesn’t make any claims to be environmentally friendly on its website and its fuel mix reflects this.

The majority of E Energy’s electricity is generated by natural gas. This is a fossil fuel that’s extracted from deposits laid down millions of years ago beneath the Earth’s crust. These deposits are finite and will eventually run out. Extracting and burning fossil fuel to produce electricity also creates a lot of harmful emissions, something that’s bad news for the environment.

An energy company’s fuel mix shows where it gets its electricity from. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint and your impact on the environment, choosing a company with a fuel mix made up largely of renewables will help.

What makes E Energy different?

Unlike most UK energy suppliers, E Energy focuses on prepayment tariffs. This means that customers with prepayment meters can get the help and support they need as well as access to low cost energy tariffs.
In most cases, an energy suppliers’ prepayment tariff will be their most basic option. Few come with any frills and, in most cases, offer an expensive alternative to standard variable and fixed rate deals. As E Energy specialises in prepayment deals, it’s able to focus on this often-overlooked area to provide its customers with a more rounded service.
Unlike many other energy suppliers, E Energy offers prepayment customers extras like loyalty rewards, friendly credit and smart meters. This can make the company a very attractive option for households looking for a better service from their prepayment provider.

If you pay for your gas and electricity in advance, choosing a company that specialises in prepayment deals can help you to get a good deal and enjoy a better level of targeted customer service. You’ll find lots of advice on getting the most from your prepayment meter on the company’s website and its customer service operatives are specially trained to deal with people paying for gas and electricity in advance.

As well as focusing on prepayment tariffs, E Energy also claims to offer a simplified, straightforward approach to gas and electricity. This can make it easier to understand your bills and stay on top of your energy payments.
