We’ve challenged George Clarke to hit the road in an electric car and travel across the UK, meeting real people who are taking steps towards greener living.

He’ll visit ScottishPower customers along the way and hear first-hand about their real experiences with going green – from home EV chargers and solar panels to small changes in the way they use energy. He’ll explore...

  • which upgrades make the biggest difference for the money?

  • are things like solar panels or heat pumps worth it in the UK?

  • what does a greener home look like in everyday life?
