Energy Smart

Switch to renewable energy

Switch all or part of your energy supply to renewable power sources.

Ask your current energy retailer if they can supply you with GreenPower accredited energy and/or shop around for a new supplier.

When choosing a supplier look for the official "tick".  An accredited GreenPower product will always carry the "tick" label – a symbol of national accreditation and clean, renewable energy. Find out more.

Household solar power systems are another "GreenPower" alternative. Rebate incentives are available from the Australian Greenhouse Office (AGO) for householders who install grid-connected or stand-alone photovoltaic systems – conditions apply.
