What is a renewable electricity source?
Electricity may be generated by power stations that use coal and it is the coal that generates high levels of green house gas. Electricity suppliers are now offering what is termed as Green energy and this electricity may be generated by solar, wind or hydro energy and these are classed as renewable electricity sources. There is also a drive towards replacing coal powered stations to gas powered stations for the future. A renewable electricity source is good for the environment and is available now. To switch to a renewable source contact your electricity provider, there are no changes required to your home wiring, equipment etc. it just means that the provider is supplying a cleaner energy source to your home.
