Presumably because OVO only buy their power from the renewable
generators. Just like a lot of the other suppliers do and claim. I
find it hard to believe that claim of "100% renewable energy" is
acuatlly true on a day like today with 70% of demand coming from
gas
and nuke.

I wonder if there is an advertisng standards case to answer?

Well one electron on the grid is much the same as another so it's all
******** anyway.

This is true. But the claim is "100% renewable energy". If more
renewable energy has been sold than there is actually available on
the grid at any given time (and your lights don't go out) then the
claim of "100% renewable energy" is false and misleading.
