Ecotricity is a British energy company based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, England, specialising in selling green energy to consumers that it primarily generates from its 87.2 megawatt wind power portfolio.[2] It is built on the principle of heavily reinvesting its profit in building more of its own green energy generation.[3]
The company was founded in 1995 by Dale Vince, who remains in control; in 2022 he announced an intention to sell the company, which has around 200,000 domestic and business customers.[4] Ecotricity's initiatives included the creation of one of Britain's first electric vehicle charging networks, which was sold to Gridserve in 2021.[citation needed]
