About Us

Since 1995, Ecotricity has been pioneering green energy in Britain, building windmills, sun parks, and green gasmills. Our mission is to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy and to turn bills into mills—funding green infrastructure through customer bills.

We also built Britain’s first megawatt windmill, the country’s first grid-scale sun park, and the first green gasmill. Our initiatives include the Electric Highway, Britain’s leading EV charging network, and supporting the Forest Green Rovers as the world’s greenest football club.
