Independent journalist focused on green electricity tariffs, price volatility, and what drives bill changes beyond simple kWh. Breaks down fuel mix, certificates, contract clauses, and switching timelines in plain English using verifiable sources. The goal is neutral, decision-ready information that helps readers compare options without falling for greenwashing.

Reporting starts with a clear question and a list of terms that must be defined before any advice is offered. Sources are triangulated across regulator pages, supplier terms and conditions, fuel-mix disclosures, and certificate registries where available. When prices shift, the work separates unit rates, standing charges, seasonal consumption, and billing periods so readers can see what actually changed. Particular care is taken to explain how “100% renewable” can be supported through different matching mechanisms and why that matters. The writing aims to teach, not to sell, so every claim is paired with a way the reader can verify it in minutes. To keep guidance usable across English-speaking markets, assumptions are stated and local variations are flagged. Ethics matter throughout: uncertainty is shown openly, conflicts of interest are avoided, and marketing language is translated into measurable criteria. The end result is practical, calm guidance that supports better choices without pushing a single supplier or technology.
