THE ELECTRICITY SCORECARD
Did you know that
Australias biggest source of greenhouse gas pollution
is electricity production? This sector is responsible for more greenhouse
gas
emissions than anything else in Australia -- more than cars and
more than
land clearing.
YOU can help fix
the problem by making a switch to a cleaner electricity
retailer. To help you make the switch, Australias environment
groups asked
the companies that sell you electricity what they are doing to address
climate change.
The retailers were
surveyed about:
their support
for state and national government policies to reduce greenhouse pollution;
their energy efficiency programs; and
the Green Power products they offer.
Thirteen of Australias
fourteen electricity retailers participated in the survey.
The leaders showed a strong commitment to responsible environmental
policy,
together with actual renewable energy and energy efficient practice.
They have
Green Power products that exceed the accreditation requirements.
