Electricity is from renewables, gas is made green through offsetting. They supply both.

Edit: at least in the UK, they only claim green, not fully renewable.

Right, so they should have a competitive advantage over those "traditional" fossil-fuel burning electricity suppliers. That is, they can continue selling renewable electricity unaffected by gas prices.

It does seem like they would have an advantage there, although they would still be affected.
