Ecotricity
Stroud, United Kingdom

Approximately 15 employees (source: linkedin.com). Revenue of £500 million in FY 2025 (source: ecotricity.co.uk).
What They Do
Ecotricity specializes in renewable energy, focusing on wind power, solar power, and green gas generation. The company is recognized as the world's first green energy provider, delivering 100% certified green electricity generated from its own wind and solar assets, as well as purchasing certified green energy from other sources (source: ecotricity.co.uk). Approximately 10% of the electricity supplied comes from Ecotricity's own generation, while the remaining 90% is sourced from other green generators or the wholesale market (source: ecotricity.co.uk). The company operates under a unique model where customer payments directly fund the construction of new renewable generation facilities, aligning with its mission to expand the UK's renewable energy supply rather than simply redistributing existing capacity (source: ecotricity.co.uk).
Projects & Track Record
Ecotricity has made significant strides in renewable energy projects, including the construction of 24 wind parks across the UK, featuring 74 windmills with a total installed capacity of 87.2 megawatts (source: ecotricity.co.uk). These facilities generate enough energy to power over 60,000 homes and save over 28,000 tonnes of CO2 annually (source: ecotricity.co.uk). The company also opened its first solar park in 2011, which was the first grid-scale solar installation in Britain, and has since expanded its solar capacity to 16.5 megawatts with additional parks in Leicestershire and Devon (source: ecotricity.co.uk). Currently, Ecotricity is developing a major solar project at Heckington Fen in Lincolnshire, which will feature 600 megawatts of solar capacity and 400 megawatts of battery storage (source: ecotricity.co.uk).
Recent Developments
In 2025, Ecotricity secured planning permission for the Heckington Fen solar park, marking a significant milestone in its infrastructure development (source: ecotricity.co.uk). The company is also celebrating its 30-year anniversary since its founding in 1995, reflecting on its pioneering role in the green energy sector (source: ecotricity.co.uk). Additionally, Ecotricity has been recognized in New Zealand as the first electricity product globally to achieve Toitū climate positive certification, further solidifying its commitment to sustainability (source: ecotricity.co.uk).
Working There
Ecotricity's organizational structure encompasses various roles in engineering, construction, commercial contracting, grid connection management, customer service, and administration, all essential for operating renewable energy generation facilities (source: ecotricity.co.uk). The company promotes a mission-driven culture focused on ending fossil fuels and addressing climate change, which is reflected in its not-for-dividend structure that prioritizes reinvestment over profit maximization (source: ecotricity.co.uk). While specific benefits are not detailed, the emphasis on purpose-driven work in renewable energy infrastructure development suggests a unique appeal for prospective employees (source: ecotricity.co.uk).

Ecotricity is Britain's greenest energy company. When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity - the green kind.
Our mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain - by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.
We don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too - we build windmills, sun parks and green gasmills in Britain. We call this turning 'bills into mills'. Some of our biggest achievements to date include building Britain's first megawatt windmill and the country's first grid-scale sun park, as well as building our first green gasmill, generating 100% green gas from a source that we will never run out of grass.
We don't just focus on energy though- we built the Electric Highway, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points; we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world; and we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk, where they use the money from their customers' bills to protect and regenerate Britain's lost rainforests.
Ecotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all.
