GreenPower is purchased on your behalf from renewable energy sources including mini-hydro, biomass and wind power. Electricity for our homes is the largest single contributor to Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. If everyone switched to 100% GreenPower today, these emissions would be halved. By purchasing renewable energy you not only help combat climate change but future energy bills too. Switching to 100% GreenPower is promoted within the ClimateSmart Home Service and is the action which will have the highest impact on reducing your household’s greenhouse gas emissions.
