Bristol Energy and The Big issue team up to sell green energy

The Big Issue magazine has partnered with Bristol Energy to offer people across the UK green electricity and gas.

The two-year fixed tariff offers 100 per cent renewable electricity and 15 per cent green gas and will be available to households all over the country.

The council-owned company has said it wants to be a “different kind of energy provider”.

The firm’s managing director Marek Majewicz said: “Bristol Energy is forging ahead with its plan to support Bristol City Council in creating a different kind of energy provider, one which has the community at its heart and focuses on driving profits for a purpose.

“It’s fantastic to be launching our partnership with The Big Issue, we’re two organisations with similar social goals and shared values.

“It’s one way in which we can support both vulnerable people and take climate action.”

The Big Issue Group head of custom content and partnerships Oliver Waddington- Ball said: “We are so pleased to be partnering with Bristol Energy to offer this unique tariff.

“From the get-go we recognised that we shared the same values of community and sustainability and the tariff is the result of putting our heads together to bring fairness and the opportunity to make green choices, to people across the UK.
