  • It ought to be common knowledge by now that most energy firms do not generate energy themselves; they purchase it from organisations that do then sell on to consumers. They are supposed to declare their fuel mix, i.e. the proportion of energy they sell that can be attributed to renewable, nuclear, oil, coal, etc. You should find this on their web sites, though some do not make this easy.


    Does anyone know of instances where the fuel mix has been offered in a misleading way?
