Greenhelpline.com is an independent green energy tariff comparison service. I had a go on it this morning - it’s fast and easy to work out the best green energy deal based on CO2 footprint and price. There are plenty of comparison websites for conventional tariffs, but greenhelpline have a resident green energy expert who checks the environmental credentials of every tariff and every supplier before allowing them on the site. So there is less doubt that the tariff is truly green.

For comparison, you can also choose the ‘green’ button on uSwitch which will also display green tariffs, but will only list them alphabetically. However, greenhelpline is excellent because it will sort companies by how green they are, giving you funky data like each company’s carbon use/k\Wh and what proportion of each supplier’s total energy output is green. This is good since you can easily rate each company’s commitment to providing green energy.
