Whats the difference between a green supply tariff and a green fund?
Signing up for a green supply tariff means that your power consumption will be matched with the same amount in green electricity. That is, power from green generation sources will be fed into the system to match your power demand. Green funds work differently, although the overall objective is the same. When switching to a green fund, customers continue to receive “conventional” power. The customer asks the supplier to donate a part of its electricity bill to a fund that supports the installation of new renewables production capacity. This fund supports your supplier in setting up new renewable energy projects. It means that you help renewables play a greater role in the future power mix. Some green offerings combine both concepts, offering both to match electricity supplied with power from green energy sources and to contribute to a renewable energy fund.
