ecotricity
Having built 14MW of new wind capacity over two sites, ecotricity is the winner for the fourth year running.
ecotricity was the first company in the world to supply green energy and continue to invest exclusively in building new wind farms. With their largest wind park project to date currently under construction, the company continue to belie their status as a small supplier by competing with the Big 6 in terms of total investment on renewables each year. Despite having 100 times less customers than every Big 6 supplier, only Powergen spent significantly more on new renewables last year.
The company began in 1996 and remains the UK's largest independent green energy generator and supplier.
