An Irish senator has urged energy firms to “cut the greenwashing crap” and pass the savings they make ditching “meaningless” renewable electricity certificates on to customers.
Sinn Fein Climate Justice spokesperson, Lynn Boylan, was speaking after UK firm Ovo said it will no longer use ‘Guarantees of Origin’ that show their power comes from renewable sources.
Electricity firms already have to show where their fuel mix comes from so customers can make an informed decision about their supplier’s climate impact.
