Renewable Electricity

Severnprint was the first commercial customer of Ecotricity in 1995.

Unusually for a business of our size we were buying wholesale electricity and we had the necessary metering in order to buy directly from Ecotricity.

Ecotricity then was a newly formed company with limited renewable electricity available. We began by buying their electricity generated from gas from the nearby landfill site at Hempsted in Gloucester.

As Ecotricity grew it had access to a larger renewable electricity supply with windpower generators sites over the whole country. Severnprint continues to buy all of its electricity from Ecotricity and buys only electricity generated entirely from renewable sources.
