Just how "green" is Octopus given that they sell electricity over the grid. Their claim is this:

We want to make renewable energy the easiest choice for everyone – so all our electricity tariffs are 100% green, often for less than other suppliers' non-green tariffs.

We work out how much power our customers are taking out of the grid annually (a mix of power sources, from wind to fossil fuels) and ensure an equal amount of renewable energy is added into the system in its place over the year. Not only does this make your electricity effectively net zero – it gradually helps make the energy system greener for everyone!

What they've done is an apportionment so that they pay for non-fossil generated electricity (never mind the carbon footprint to make wind farms) and then equal to an offset amount of fossil-produced electricity. Pure smoke and mirrors for you to glue yourself to.
