The scorecard tells me the extra charge per unit of Greenpower. How does this compare to a ‘normal’ unit of electricity?
The average cost per unit of electricity is 12 cents per kilowatt hour, but this varies from state to state and from retailer to retailer. The extra charge shown in this column is whatever you pay for GreenPower in addition to the ‘normal’ charge for electricity made by that supplier. Some retailers set a fixed price for GreenPower, rather than charging you according to how much you use. In this case the ‘charge per unit GreenPower’ listed is calculated from average Australian electricity use. For example, if a 10% GreenPower had a fixed cost, this cost has been divided by 680 to get the unit cost for GreenPower, because 10% of average Australian electricity use is 680 kWh.
