Is this just for renewable energy, like solar panel tarrifs?
Or just normal gas and electricity?

Normal, but they only do green (electricity, gas is a different story).

They seem OK.  Not had anything to do with them professionally.  The only caveat I would add is that all these suppliers making a big thing of "green energy at no extra cost" could come a little unstuck in future.  There has been plenty of sleeved renewable energy to meet the demand of customers requiring such, and prepared to pay a small premium for it.  We are now seeing large organisations electing for REGO-backed green energy supply sources and this has pushed up the uplift cost of green over brown energy.  Nothing massive just yet, but this has risen from around 25p/MWh uplift to over 80p in a year, so in real terms from about 0.5% of the bill cost to 2%.  Whether they can consume a 2% rise in costs (or greater) when their current sleeving contracts come to an end without passing that cost on to consumers remains to be seen.  Expect some subtle changes in the marketing messages over the next year, I'd say.

They've taken over the Cooperatives customer base, which is who I was with.

I’ve been with these a while shamefully more down to cost than green credentials

Like the sound of this , always a big fan of the COOP, will have a look when our current deal runs out later this year.
