British Gas New Energy

We launched British Gas New Energy (BGNE) as a separate business in April 2007, to supply the growing UK market for low-carbon and energy efficient products and services.

We have launched two industry-leading green energy tariffs and begun to supply and install a range of microgeneration technologies including solar thermal, wind turbines and ground source heat pumps. We remain the largest provider of energy efficiency measures, such as loft and cavity wall insulation, in the UK.

British Gas was selected as an accredited supplier for the Government's Low Carbon Building Programme, the only company able to supply all five microgeneration technologies.

We work with other parts of British Gas utilising their skills and resources to help deliver our business objectives. In 2008, the energy efficiency measures we provided to homes delivered lifetime carbon savings of 17.87 million tonnes.
