Apparently, the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs sources 63% of it's electricity from renewable sources. There is a target across Whitehall (because they like targets) of just 10% required, which was devised by DEFRA and Downing Street. So DEFRA are doing great, beating the DWP by 0.1% in fact.
However, DEFRA, the people driving the requirements for us to avoid facing certain doom from the sky falling in are not the best. The Department for International Development last year sourced 95% of its electricity from renewables and next year, they say, it will be 100%.
I know it's small but I find it quaintly amusing that DEFRA get beaten at their own game. Sadly I don't know what the percentage representation of the Department of Transport's renewable electricity sourcing is, but wouldn't it be funny if it beat DEFRA too?

Out of interest do you get your electricity from renewable sources?
So how does one know? We used to be on a "green plan", but how can one be sure that the electrity sold underthis plan is green? Also, how much of that power was being generated anyway by "renewable means" and sold consolidated with nuclear & coal power, with the power coy waiting for a sucker like me to come along and pay over the odds for something that was happening aready...
