An average Australian home that has subscribed to 100% accredited GreenPower (including off peak) would save approximately seven tonnes of greenhouse pollution every year which is equivalent to removing almost two cars from the road.

How much greenhouse pollution has GreenPower sales saved since the program began in 1997?

GreenPower sales have represented Greenhouse gas savings of nearly 4.9 million tonnes which is equivalent to taking over one million cars off our roads for a year.

If you had 100% GreenPower, would it matter if you left the lights on when not needed?

Yes, it would matter. Even though it contributes to the development of renewable energy, using GreenPower is not the total solution to global warming. It is equally important to save energy and reduce waste.
