BP is a minority partner in the project and will “provide access to renewable energy”.
Pure Planet offers one tariff without markup – the same price that the company pays on the wholesale market. A £10 monthly membership fee per fuel, which includes the standing charge, covers the company’s margin.
It offers both electricity and “100% carbon-offset natural gas” through a service run on a mobile app, the company said.
The company has been founded by Andrew Ralston, Steven Day, Chris Alliott and Tom Alexander.
Pure Planet co-founder and chief executive Andrew Ralston said: “Pure Planet is designed to give Britain’s 28 million consumers fresh, clean 100% renewable energy for a lower price than power that pollutes.
“We’re using modern digital technology – and our telecommunications experience – to bring better prices and better service to the UK energy market.”
