New scheme to rate green energy
23rd November 2007 by Sarah Whitworth
BBC News reports on the new rating system which will help customers to compare energy companies’ green tariffs, according to the regulator.
Ofgem wants electricity deals to be rated from A to F in the same way that household appliances are graded to reflect their energy efficiency.
It also wants companies to provide clear, standardised information to allow easier comparisons.
Consumer groups have welcomed the new guidelines, which Ofgem hopes will be in place by summer 2008.
