GreenPower purchases have doubled
ONE in 10 South Australian electricity customers are now buying GreenPower, double the number of two years ago.
GreenPower is the name given to Federal Government accredited renewable energy, such as wind and solar, and usually costs homeowners about 5c per kilowatt hour more. Greenhouse gas emissions are not produced when GreenPower is generated, unlike traditional electricity sources such as coal and gas.
University of Adelaide Climate Change Professor Barry Brook said it was great to see a dramatic increase in GreenPower usage in the community. But he said Governments needed to do more to resolve bureaucratic issues to ensure more people bought emission-free energy in years to come.
