I Want 100% Green Energy For My Home. Find The Right Electricity Provider For You

Energy generation is, unfortunately, one of the most polluting industries in the world. But in these modern times, it’s hard to get by without power. 

So how can you power your home while supporting green energy production? A great option is to install solar power and batteries at your home to generate your own electricity and reduce your reliance on energy produced by coal and gas.

In addition, you can ask your energy retailer to provide you with green power, that is to say, power from clean, renewable energy sources. While not every retailer has this available yet, you’ll find plenty that do.

So, you want Green energy?

If you would like your electricity plan to be green, you will need to find a provider that is accredited by the government’s GreenPower scheme (more on that below).

A comprehensive list of accredited providers can be found on the GreenPower website.

Choose from our preferred providers

When you use Move-In Connect’s moving utilities services for your new property electricity and gas connections, we can help you go green. We will compare electricity plans from our panel of Australia’s leading electricity providers and recommend green options for your new electricity connection. 

Take a look at the table below to see some green options to consider when moving home electricity to a new power supplier. You can choose the percentage of your power that you want to come from renewable sources, and you can change this at any point after moving your electricity connection.

What is Green energy?

If you’re still reading, then you probably want to know a bit more about green energy before you switch electricity to a GreenPower plan. 

Green power is energy that is generated using renewable sources, including:

• Solar
• Wind
• Hydro 
• Biomass
• Geothermal
• Ocean/Tidal

There are currently 581 GreenPower accredited generators in Australia. Take a look at the locations of green energy here.

How does GreenPower work?

Homes and businesses in Australia connect electricity and gas through the grid, which receives electricity from coal-fired plants, renewable energy sources and residential PV solar panels. So you might be wondering how your house can be powered with energy from a specific, renewable source.

Well, the reality is, you can’t choose which type of generator your power comes from. Rather than sending you electricity directly from a renewable energy generator, GreenPower replaces the energy you use from the grid with the same amount from an accredited green source.

How do I know if it’s really green?

To be sure you are really supporting green energy generation, you should look for the GreenPower logo.

The GreenPower program is a government initiative, managed by the NSW Office of Energy and Climate Change on behalf of the National GreenPower Steering Group.

GreenPower works with Australian electricity providers to make sure that the correct amount of renewable energy is fed into the grid on behalf of their customers. They do this through an independent auditing process to make sure providers adhere to the strict criteria.

GreenPower aims to ensure that renewable energy generation in Australia is supported by the customers and businesses that choose GreenPower providers.
