11 persuasive reasons you should sell your renewable energy with RED

If you’re a renewable generator in the UK, chances are you want one thing: to get a fair price for your power. But the energy market? It’s noisy, hard to navigate, and full of options that don’t always stack up.

That’s where RED comes in. Built by tem, RED is a platform that helps generators earn more by selling directly to UK businesses – no middlemen, no hidden fees, no value lost in the system. Just a transparent, fair, and secure way to earn more for what you generate.

If you’re looking for stronger earnings, more control, and a simpler way to sell your renewable energy, here are 11 completely biased (but also completely true) reasons to join tem and give RED a go.

1. You earn more – at least 10% more

Let’s start with the obvious: our generators consistently earn at least 10% more per MWh than they would through a traditional supplier. 

Take it from Richard, owner at Fothar Farms in Fife, who uses anaerobic digestion to turn farm waste into clean energy: “We chose tem to manage my renewable generation as, simply, they were better priced.”

That’s because we bypass the wholesale market and sell your energy directly to UK businesses that need it. No middlemen, no mystery margins. Just more of the value staying with you.

2. You don’t have to lock in for 10+ years

Unlike a Corporate Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), where you’re typically tied into a fixed contract with one buyer for many years, there’s no long-term lock-in with tem. No signing your future away with a fixed price for the next decade. We keep it flexible, with contracts from 6-36 months, so you stay in control.

3. It’s asset-backed and secure

Selling energy is one of the most secure revenue streams out there, because it's backed by something the world will always need: power. But at tem, we make it even safer. You get built-in credit protection and payments 20% faster than standard utility terms. So your cash flow stays strong, and your peace of mind does too.

4. We do the admin (so you don’t have to)

We take care of all the setup, payments, and compliance, so you can focus on managing your assets, not the paperwork. Whether you manage a single site or a national portfolio, we make it easy to onboard and even easier to run.

5. You can track everything in one place

Our RED portal gives you a live view of your monthly output, earnings, and your RED Coverage Score (that’s how much of your energy is matched with UK businesses). Think of it like a dashboard for your energy income.

6. Many-to-many = less risk and stable returns

We don’t rely on a single buyer to take all your energy. RED uses a many-to-many model, so your power is matched across a broad portfolio of trusted UK businesses, which means low risk, predictable income, and fewer sleepless nights.

7. You get real support from real people

Our hands-on customer support team is here to help when you need it. No bots, no scripts – just real humans who understand your business.

As one lovely customer put it: “The customer service from tem has been fantastic, I have never experienced anything close to this from a utility company.”

8. Your energy directly powers UK businesses

With RED, your power goes directly to real British businesses – shops, manufacturers, breweries, bakeries – that want to run on renewables. And because we cut out wholesale fees from the transaction, you’re not only accelerating the UK’s energy transition, but helping them save money too.

9. You’d be joining a growing community of 300+ generators

You won’t be going it alone. More than 300 renewable generators across the UK – from independent solar sites to national AD portfolios – have made the switch to RED already.

Together, we’ve returned over £6.5 million to our generator community by cutting out unnecessary wholesale market costs from selling energy. Putting more money back where it belongs.

10. You can earn even more with RED Plus

If you're eligible for the government's exempt supply scheme, RED Plus lets you unlock an extra £20–30 per MWh on top of your regular earnings. It’s a way to get paid more by selling to businesses that are exempt from certain energy charges – and we’ll handle the setup.

11. We’ve got some serious power behind us

We're no island. The RED platform has garnered attention from national media like City A.M., TechCrunch, Sifted and investors alike. If Europe's top tech investors like Atomico, AlbionVC, the Branson family, and the co-founders of Wise and Bolt are handing over their millions to help us take on the Big Energy market, you know you're in a safe pair of hands.

So what are you waiting for?

Join the 300+ generators already earning more for their energy with RED. It’s quick and easy to get started.
