Over the next few years Spark is aiming to provide 100% of our customers with a renewable source of power. Whilst this is a challenging target, we believe it's not only good for the planet but makes good commercial sense. We already have deals in place to purchase renewable power from several generation schemes across the UK but we are always looking for additional sources to help us on our way to becoming 100% green.

How to join us

If you are a larger renewable generator, typically generating over 500kW, we would like to talk to you about setting up a power purchase agreement with us. We can offer you competitive prices for your export and your renewable certificates (ROCs and REGOs).

We are interested in technologies with high load factors, e.g. sustainable biogeneration and anaerobic digestion schemes.

If you are a renewable generator of the size and type described above we’d really like to hear from you.   Please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Kris Jakobsen, Director of Sales & Marketing – Spark Energy, said ‘We are delighted to have reached this important milestone with a company like Jordan’s.’ ‘Our success is built on having positive relationships with our partner companies and that is certainly true in this case.’

William Jordan, Managing Director – Jordan’s, commented ‘As a business we are always looking for ways to add efficiencies, generate revenue and improve the experience for our landlords and tenants.  Spark Energy allow us to do all three and my team find their personal service and fresh approach a real help.  We’re looking forward to many more years of working together.'
