GreenPower

Where do I start? 

Join the other 22,000 businesses across Australia (as at June 2007) who have already switched to GreenPower and are enjoying the benefits.

Visit the GreenPower website to see who offers GreenPower in your area. Shop around and find the best deal to suit your needs and buget.

Businesses can call the customer service number on their electricity bill and ask to join up to an accredited GreenPower product. Remember each energy supplier will have their own name for the accredited GreenPower product they sell, such as 'GreenLiving' or 'GreenEarth', and have different options for the percentage of GreenPower you can purchase.

What are the benefits?

GreenPower offers your business the opportunity to reduce polluting greenhouse gas emissions in Australia. By choosing GreenPower you will be driving demand for electricity made from renewable sources such as solar, wind and organic matter (biomass).

Using GreenPower for your business also means having an environmental image many employees and consumers respect and value.

Research has shown that the majority of consumers prefer to buy from companies who buy GreenPower. In a survey conducted by Artcraft Research in 1999, 79 per cent agreed with the following statement: "If I had the choice of buying goods from a company that contributes to a GreenPower scheme versus one that does not, I'd definitely buy from the one that does contribute to GreenPower."

Businesses can use the GreenPower logo in promotional material – so clients and customers know you are taking active steps to tackle climate change and contribute to a healthy environment.

Purchasing accredited GreenPower for your business helps reduce emissions of harmful greenhouse pollution in Australia and contributes to a sustainable environment with greater energy resources for future generations.
