Ecotricity is a British energy company based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, specialising in selling green energy to consumers that it primarily generates from its 87.2-megawatt wind power portfolio. It is built on the principle of heavily reinvesting its profit in building more of its own green energy generation.

The company was founded in 1995 by Dale Vince, who remains in control. As of 2025 the company has around 167,000 meter points on supply, comprising domestic and business customers. Ecotricity's initiatives included the creation of one of Britain's first electric vehicle charging networks, which was sold to Gridserve in 2021.
