… is another man’s solar panel.

We are delighted that the radiator that we removed from our dining room to make space for our new french doors to be installed has been Freecycled to someone who is going to be making it into a solar water heater on his shed roof.

When we decided to change our electricity supply to one made up of 100% renewable energy, we knew that we couldn’t afford to increase our bills substantially so we chose npower Juice, who could provide the energy at only £20 a year more that what we were currently paying.

In reality, npower Juice don’t supply 100% renewable energy directly to our electric plugs.  npower  matches every unit of normal electricity used by each Juice customer, and feeds the same amount, generated from renewable sources (mainly the North Hoyle Offshore Windfarm), into the electricity network.  The concept of Juice was brought about by an unusual partnership between npower and Greenpeace.
