eli5 – Why does renewable-generated electricity go up with the cost of non-renewable?

1.66K views

My UK energy provider says my electricity is produced with 100% renewables, so I presume water, wind, solar. So why am I affected by such big increases in electricity charges (price per kWh)?

Because your electricity isn’t 100% renewable.

Rego certificates (the UK system which tracks what is and isn’t renewable) are a failed system.
