Powergen and Scottish Power biggest CO2 emitters
Friends of the Earth Scotland have published a table of figures on energy companies, showing where their electricity comes from, as well as the extent of their production of CO2 and nuclear waste. (This information is now available as a result of new EU rules.)
Powergen’s performance was the poorest with 56 percent of its energy from coal and only 0.5 percent from clean renewables. Scottish Power came next with 48 percent from coal and 6 percent from renewables. Only Good Energy had a completely clean sheet, although it is worth noting that the main suppliers offer different tariffs, some more green than others.
FoE Scotland also provide information about switching provider or tariff.
