Woodland Trust to fundraise from energy company partnership
Howard Lake | 1 May 2013 | News
The Woodland Trust has partnered with energy company Ovo to offer an energy service to consumers which will generate income for the conservation charity.
Woodland Trust Energy will "deliver cheaper and greener gas and electricity to consumers", according to the charity.
Householders who switch to the service will save an estimated £161 on average annual fuel bills. For every new customer who signs up, the Woodland Trust will receive 2.5% of every annual bill, worth around £30.

The service is available both to Woodland Trust members and non-members.
Two tariffs
Woodland Trust Energy offers two tariffs – the Green Energy Plan which is 100% renewable electricity and the New Energy Plan offering 15% renewable energy. The latter, according to the Trust, "has almost double the amount of renewable electricity than the standard UK average of 7.9%".
