Our 2024/2025 Fuel Mix

Our zero carbon, 100% renewable annually matched electricity contracts*, sourced from Solar, Wind and/or Hydro, have been audited and verified by an independent third party, SE Advisory Services, Schneider Electric’s global consulting practice. They have certified that our supply is matched with Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates, which allows our customers to report zero carbon emissions on their Scope 2 under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol market-based method*. See our assurance statement here. ^*Visit https://www.brytenergy.co.uk/100-renewable-electricity/ for information on our products and services.

Our fuel mix is the ratio of different sources used to generate the electricity supplied to our customers. All UK electricity suppliers must detail their portfolio fuel mix on an annual basis to Ofgem and their customers – this is called a ‘Fuel Mix Disclosure’ or FMD. This must also include the associated carbon content so that customers can accurately measure their associated carbon emissions and compare each suppliers’ offered Fuel Mixes. On our annually matched product, the electricity we supply is zero carbon and 100% renewable*, sourced from Solar, Wind and/or Hydro power. From 2025/2026 we will be reporting a Bryt Energy portfolio FMD and product level FMDs, to align with evolving product and reporting requirements. Our current fuel mix can be viewed here. *Please visit https://www.brytenergy.co.uk/100-renewable-electricity/ for more information on our products and services.

We purchase all our electricity through our parent company, Statkraft, who procure the electricity volume to match our customers’ contracted amount from the wholesale electricity market.

In 2022, the Government announced that from April 1^st 2023, the UK would no longer recognise EU Guarantees of Origin (GoO) certificates. To learn more about the different types of renewable energy certificates and the potential impacts of this change, read our blog, here.

No. As standard in Great Britain, electricity is generally supplied to properties via National Grid’s transmission network, and local distribution system operator’s (DSO) networks – not directly from any specific renewable (or non-renewable) generator. Great Britain uses multiple sources for electricity generation, from renewables, to nuclear to fossil fuels, which means that all sites are provided with electricity from the whole mix of generation sources that the grid is being supplied with at that time, even when you have a renewable electricity contract*. For customers on our zero carbon, 100% renewable annually matched electricity contracts*, we purchase and manage Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) certificates to match their supplied electricity volume, plus the Government’s annual estimated loss factor volume to account for electricity ‘lost’ through the UK’s Transmission & Distribution (T&D) Networks. For every 1 MWh of renewable electricity* produced, a REGO certificate is issued to the generator, which we purchase and manage. This ensures that, although electricity consumed will come from a mix of generation sources on the grid, an equivalent amount to customers’ supplied electricity was generated from Solar, Wind and/or Hydro renewable assets in Great Britain at any time within that given compliance year. Using Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin certificates (REGOs) is currently the only official mechanism recognised by DESNZ (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) in Great Britain for tracking renewable electricity for electricity Suppliers’ Fuel Mix reporting purposes. ^*Visit https://www.brytenergy.co.uk/100-renewable-electricity/ for information on our products and services.

REGOs (Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin) and GoOs (Guarantees of Origin) are certificates issued to renewable generators per megawatt hour of renewable electricity generated. These are purchased by suppliers and demonstrate to the consumer (and Ofgem) that the equivalent of their supplied electricity in a given year came from renewable generation. Without sufficient certificates, suppliers cannot claim to be providing a renewable supply. REGOs are issued within the UK, whilst GoOs are issued to generation within the EU. From April 1^st2023, the UK no longer recognises EU Guarantees of Origin (GoO) certificates. Learn more about this in our blog, here.    

We source the majority of our REGO certificates through our parent company, Statkraft, but we may also purchase them elsewhere to ensure we get the best price for our customers. When we purchase REGOs from Statkraft they can be from Statkraft-owned renewable generation assets, Statkraft-controlled renewable generation assets in their portfolio, or fully independent third party renewable energy generators. Individual specific customer contracts may have slightly differing requirements for REGOs certificates and/or reporting, and these can be arranged as part of contract negotiations on a case-by-case basis. Our FMD and any bespoke REGO requirements are audited and verified each year by an independent third party, SE Advisory Services, Schneider Electric’s global consulting practice. ^*Visit https://www.brytenergy.co.uk/100-renewable-electricity/ for information on our products and services.

REGOs purchased by us are solely owned by Bryt Energy and redeemed by us submitting them to the regulator, Ofgem, in July after each compliance year. This is in order for suppliers to include REGOs within their Fuel Mix Disclosure (FMD) annually, in accordance with electricity suppliers’ standard licence conditions (SLC). These REGOs are held by suppliers and are not transferred to customers. 

Our supply products have been audited and verified by an independent third party, SE Advisory Services, Schneider Electric’s global consulting practice . They have certified that our zero carbon, 100% renewable annually matched electricity supply contracts* are backed by Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin certificates (REGOs).     This allows customers supplied with our zero carbon, 100% renewable annually matched electricity* to report their electricity consumption (Scope 2) as zero carbon, under the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol market-based method. You do not need the REGO certificate codes to be able to report this using this method.   In addition to your contract, our electricity supply products are evidenced through our Bryt Energy renewable contract certificates that we can provide to our customers. This certificate confirms that the customer on contract with us is being supplied with electricity that’s been sourced from zero carbon, 100% renewable* sources, Solar, Wind and/or Hydro, for that annualised contract period.   We also recommend customers keep our SE Advisory Services Assurance Statement with their Bryt Energy renewable contract certificate to show their supply has been audited and verified as zero carbon and 100% renewable*.   Please contact heretohelp@brytenergy.co.uk to receive a Bryt Energy renewable contract certificate.  You can view your verification assurance statement here.   ^*Visit https://www.brytenergy.co.uk/100-renewable-electricity/ for information on our products and services.

The GHG (Greenhouse Gas) Protocol is a set of internationally accepted standards of measuring and reporting emissions. The guidance categorises emissions activities into different scopes for accounting and reporting purposes.

The GHG Protocol have defined three scopes of emissions which are essentially who ‘owns’ those emissions and how much control a company has to change or influence them:

• Scope 1 covers direct emissions from owned or controlled sources, like the gas used to heat a building or the fuel used in the company’s fleet of vehicles.
• Scope 2 covers indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the company.
• Scope 3 includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a company’s value chain, like the emissions from commuting to work, or purchased goods and services.

The GHG Protocol Scope 2 market-based method reflects emissions from electricity that companies have purposefully chosen to procure and report on. This differs from the GHG protocol Scope 2 location-based method, which looks at the average carbon emissions for the country of operation, which is mandatory to include on your GHG reporting. For the UK, you can find the location-based average emission factors from the Government website which are updated annually.

Transmission and distribution (T&D) losses refer to the losses that occur in the transportation of electricity between the sources of generation and the end customer. Bryt Energy purchases and retires sufficient REGOs each year to cover the electricity lost in the transmission and distribution of your electricity. This is calculated based on the annual loss factor published by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, as part of their ‘Fuel Mix Disclosure Data Table’, and is built into our own Fuel Mix Disclosure (FMD).
