How does green energy work?

For electricity

We're an accredited provider of GreenPower, a government-managed scheme that helps people reduce electricity consumption impact.

We look at how much electricity you’ve used and source the equivalent percentage of green power from accredited renewable energy generators – from sources like solar and wind.

You can visit GreenPower to learn more.

For natural gas

We calculate the equivalent CO2 emissions from the gas you use and purchase offsets from projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We do this annually.
