Buying 'Green' Electricity
Join the Greenpeace scheme Juice (with Npower) and help fund a new windfarm.
Apply online at http://www.npower.com/html/juiceandwindpower 'Juice' aims to enable 50,000
domestic electricity customers to receive their electricity from clearly identified, entirely renewable sources with no premium price (some of
those below are costlier). Juice allows residential customers anywhere in the UK the opportunity to purchase clean electricity generated by the
wind at sea. By 2003, Juice will be sourced from the proposed North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm which, subject to
planning permission, will be built seven kilometres off the coast of North Wales by National Wind Power.

- check exactly what is involved - some schemes may be paying into a fund rather than selling you 'pure' renewable
electricity.
