Fuel Mix Disclosure Guide
Compare the mix of fuels energy companies use to supply electricity
In the United Kingdom, all energy suppliers are legally obligated to disclose to their customers their fuel mix. This is the mix of fuels (gas, coal, nuclear, etc.) used to produce the electricity they supply to their customers
In addition, consumers must be informed about the amount of carbon dioxide emitted via electricity generation and /or the quantity of nuclear waste produced.
