Greenchoice — going green with ActewAGL
So what is Greenchoice and how does it work?
You don't need extra powerlines or installation, a small additional cost on top of your regular electricity bill allows ActewAGL to purchase electricity from renewable sources, like wind power, biomass, mini-hydro and solar. This green energy is then fed straight back into the electricity grid, replacing electricity that would have otherwise been generated by fossil fuels – and that means reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
You don’t even have to be an existing ActewAGL customer to join Greenchoice. Fixed use plans are available to anyone, anywhere in Australia. How much does it cost?
There are two ways to buy green energy through Greenchoice. You can opt for a fixed amount each day or a variable amount based on a percentage of the electricity you use.
So much for Cheap and Green !!
