The energy regulator has just published its Fuel Mix Disclosure Report for 2018. This report presents reliable, accurate and independently verified information from the energy regulator regarding the sources of electricity.

“The Fuel Mix Disclosure Report for 2018 is important as it shows consumers where the electricity, they purchase from their supplier, is coming from for 2018,” said Liam Faulkner, CEO of Flogas Enterprise .
“This disclosure enables consumers to distinguish between suppliers based on the source of their electricity and the associated carbon emissions. In 2018, all of the electricity we supplied to our customers was from renewable energy sources. The report also shows Flogas Enterprise had zero CO2 emissions in 2018. By choosing Flogas Enterprise as your energy provider, you are playing a vital role in ensuring we live in a cleaner, greener and healthier environment,” he added.
