What we do
GreenPower is a government-managed program that lets individuals and businesses support renewable energy generation. When you buy GreenPower from your electricity retailer, you're paying for renewable energy that meets our strict criteria.
Since all electricity goes into the grid to be used, your electricity retailer can’t directly feed the electricity from a renewable generator into your house or workplace. Instead, it’s added to the grid on your behalf. The more people choose GreenPower, the more energy from renewable sources goes into the grid.
GreenPower gives consumers and businesses confidence they are purchasing energy that comes from genuinely renewable sources and ensures the money goes to fund renewable energy projects and jobs.
Our Mission
To drive investment in renewable energy in Australia, with a view to decreasing greenhouse gas emissions from the generation of electricity, by increasing awareness of, and ensuring consumer confidence in, environmentally sound renewable energy products.

Auditing the renewable energy sector
