GreenPower is a government-run initiative that provides certification to products that offer customers renewable electricity. Retailers must meet the strict rules of the program to be able to call their electricity 'GreenPower' and use the 'GreenPower Tick'.

GreenPower is renewable energy sourced from the sun, the wind, water and waste that is purchased by your energy company on your behalf. Companies generate electricity at a range of sites across Australia and supply the electricity to a central power grid. Our homes and businesses are connected to this grid so we can access electricity. Traditionally, electricity on the central grid comes from generators that burn coal. Only a small amount (about eight per cent) comes from renewable sources such as sun, wind, water and biomass waste. Energy suppliers who sell accredited GreenPower products buy electricity generated from accredited renewable energy generators on your behalf and feed it into the National Electricity Grid. In Western Australia, the same applies to the South West Interconnected System. Only renewable energy products that display the GreenPower ‘tick’ are government accredited. |
All of Perth Energy's GreenPower products are Government accredited under the National GreenPower Accreditation Program.
Our customers can be confident that they are choosing energy that is genuinely not harming the environment.
