 Q. What is Green Energy or “Green Electricity”?
A. “Green Electricity” and “Green Energy” are types of energy generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar and wave power.

They are environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional electricity or other forms of energy generated from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas and which are an enormous source of greenhouse gas emissions (such as carbon dioxide), contributing to the present global warming crisis.
 
Q. What does Green Energy Cost?
A. Most suppliers charge an additional amount per kilowatt-hour on green energy as opposed to brown energy (regular energy). However, customers will not pay climate change levy on green energy and at best it can prove to be a cost neutral exercise, i.e. refund of CCL equals cost of green premium on unit price.
 
Q. Do I need a special connection for Green Energy?
A. No, the electricity from your wall plug remains the same as the origin of electricity cannot be detected, however, your supplier will guarantee that electricity you buy has been produced from renewable energy sources.
