Switching to accredited GreenPower would significantly reduce the Greenhouse Gas emissions you’re responsible for.

GreenPower is now available to all Australian households.

GreenPower generally costs more than standard electricity, but what you’ll pay depends on the percentage of accredited GreenPower and the retailer you choose. We tell you how to choose a good deal.

The average household could pay over $400 a year extra for 100% GreenPower — roughly an additional 20% to 40% above government-regulated standard electricity rates — but using our guide to choose a cheaper retailer would cut that bill by half or even more (depending on your electricity consumption, where you live and which retailers are available).

Buying less than 100% GreenPower does less to help the environment but is obviously cheaper — under $100 a year for most people. Several companies offer 10% accredited GreenPower at no extra cost above regulated electricity rates.
Some deals aren’t as green as they seem. We tell you how to spot the difference.
