Helping you take your home towards net zero
If you’re looking for ways to lower your carbon footprint, there’s no place like home. Here’s how we’re supporting our customers on their own paths to net zero.
100% renewable electricity
The more Britain depends on electricity, the more of it we’ll need. It’s vital that Britain’s electricity continues to shift to low-carbon and renewable sources.
We support renewable electricity generation in Britain by supplying 100% renewable electricity tariffs as standard.
Those tariffs are supported through REGO certificates, which match all the electricity our customers use with the same amount of renewable generation.
Smarter home tech
When it comes to reducing energy waste at home, smart technology can help give you greater control over your heating, lighting and electric devices.
The Shell Energy shop offers the latest smart technology to automate your home - selected by experts, with offers available for our energy and broadband customers.
Smart meters for energy insights
Smarter homes start with smart meters. They help customers make informed decisions that help lower their energy use (and bills, too).
More widely, the near real-time data they capture is being used to reduce waste - by helping the energy system manage the supply and demand of energy more effectively.
Free advice for energy-efficient homes
Every home is different. That’s why we created the Cleaner Energy Choices website, which is packed with the information you need to make your home more energy efficient.
You can even book a call with one of our Cleaner Energy Experts for free, one-on-one advice on smart, solar and insulation improvements that suit your needs - and your budget.
