If I'm correct and having seen similar adverts for such energy, the gas and electric still comes down the same pipe/cable as does the water (which also has a carbon footprint).

So the 100% renewable is an indirect energy claim/statement because the supply is still coming from the same place, it's just that somehow through the billing system your billing agent feeds energy back into the system from a renewable source (assuming we can class 'the sun' and the movement of 'the moon', causing tidal movement and wind as renewable).
