GreenPower
GreenPower is renewable energy made easy. Buying GreenPower means more renewable electricity on the grid and less emissions from electricity use for you. You can opt for GreenPower through your electricity retailer.
GreenPower assesses renewable energy generators, like solar or wind farms, against stringent environmental standards. If a generator receives accreditation, it can create renewable energy certificates with the GreenPower tick. Electricity retailers and certificate traders can then offer GreenPower products to their customers.
