Furthermore the company's main direction is to generate more power from clean sources by investing money out of profits into wind farms and other renewable energy projects;

`Ecotricity is an electricity company with a difference - we're dedicated to changing the way electricity is made. We take the money our customers spend on electricity and invest it in clean forms of power like wind energy. What's more, we're the only green electricity company actually building these new renewable energy sources. In 2007 alone we invested £25 million in wind energy' http://www.ecotricity.co.uk/about/

The company is also creating an Ecoforest, by planting a tree for every new customer that signs up with them.

`As part of our environmental commitment, we planted a tree for our first 20,000 customers to create a beautiful new woodland near our wind turbine at Lynch Knoll in Gloucestershire.'
