I buy 100% wind power at home, but its pretty much a scam I think. Of course when there isn't any wind I get coal/gas/nuclear generated power. The 99% of people who dont care dont care and its just a way to get some extra charge to some people who try to be green. I keep doing it to try to send some signal but might give up soon.

I've wonderd about buying "eco power", it's not like electrons have markings on them that say "I came from a generator attached to a wind turbine!". It's just that the wind turbines put some Megawatts into the pool and their buyers took the same amount of Megawatts.

Don't know where you are, but green energy providers, at least in the UK, either have a relationship with the producer where they buy directly from them, rather than from the grid, or buy specific types of energy from the grid. It IS possible to buy energy from a specific source and energy is traded constantly during the day on the energy exchange.

Bulb for example have more information about where their energy comes from: https://bulb.co.uk/energy/

The whole point is to send that signal, increasing demand for wind power, and increasing the budget for the company so they can invest in new turbines.
