| | Independent research conducted in the UK by pollsters MORI found that some 21% of the population would be willing to pay extra for electricity from renewable energy sources. | | |
| | | | |
| | unit[e]'s business is based on the belief that as people, singly and corporately, become increasingly aware of the problems of air pollution, ozone depletion and climate change they will take measures to reduce their consumption of fossil fuel generated electricity. This belief is underpinned by Government and European Union policy to increase the proportion of energy generated from renewable sources, with targets set for generation of 10% renewable electricity in the UK, and an undertaking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20% by 2010. unit[e] thus represents a very bold initiative to put renewable energy within the grasp of increasing numbers of people who understand the nature and scale of the threat posed by climate change. | | |

| | Power for a positive future. | | |
| | Do you look forward to a positive future where electricity will be generated by clean, safe and efficient technologies - a future that harnesses the power of the wind and water, reduces polluting emissions and poses no known long term threat to our environment? You can choose that power today, supplied to you by unit[e]. | | |
| | | | |
| | Did you know that you can save around 2 tonnes of the global warming gas carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere each year by purchasing renewable electricity from unit[e] for your home? | | |

| | How does it work | | |
| | Your electricity supply will continue to reach your home via the existing electricity network. There will be no change to the quality or reliability of your supply. But now, for every unit of electricity you use, unit[e] will contract to supply to the electricity grid an equivalent unit, generated from entirely renewable sources. | | |
| | | | |
| | Quality | | |
| | unit[e] seeks to provide the highest quality standards of customer service and, of course, electricity supply. There will be no changes to the quality or reliability of the electricity reaching your home. And no change, in almost every case, to your electricity meter. Your meter will be read in the same manner. Your existing electricity appliances will not be affected by the changeover to renewable electricity. | | |
| | | | |
| | Additional Cost (approx. £36/yr) | | |
| | With unit[e], your electricity bill will be around £3* a month more. That may seem a lot. But it's not, when you consider that traditionally generated electricity involves an environmental cost, which is not reflected in the price you pay. Traditional electricity may seem cheaper. But it isn't. With renewable electricity from unit[e] the price you pay is real. There are no hidden costs to the environment. | | |
