Green Power


The GreenPower label

An accredited GreenPower product will always carry the ‘tick’ label. This accreditation label is supported and managed by governments throughout Australia. When you decide to purchase renewable energy make sure you look for the accredited GreenPower ‘tick’ label.

These labels tell you the amount of accredited GreenPower your energy retailer is purchasing on your behalf, as a percentage  (10% – 100%) of your household’s electricity consumption. 50% means that your energy supplier purchases renewable energy from accredited GreenPower sources to the amount equal to 50% of your household’s electricity consumption (or that of the average Australian household).
