Why do PureEnergy products cost more than my normal electricity supply?
A10. Under a normal electricity supply contract, EnergyAustralia only has to purchase the relevant amount of electricity (ignoring the cost of network services, metering and so on). However, a PureEnergy contract also involves the additional cost to EnergyAustralia of purchasing the GreenPower Rights and Renewable Energy Certificates associated with the relevant amount of renewable electricity. PureEnergy products therefore cost more than your normal electricity supply.
