How does Greenswitch work?
Your money is used to buy clean renewable energy from sources such as sun, wind, water and waste. This energy is fed into the electricity grid to replace the power you take out. Normally this would be replaced with energy from fossil fuels. Compared to fossil fuels such as coal and oil, renewable energy is easily replenished. It also creates fewer emissions that lead to global warming and affect our health.Will I get a discount from the money I pay to my retailerNo. The money which you pay through GreenSwitch is only the difference between the cost of standard fossil power and Green Power. The generator also gets a payment through the wholesale market when the power is fed into the grid. Unfortunately as of this time renewable energy is more expensive to produce than fossil power.
