Environmentally conscious consumers now have the choice of either renewable energy plans or GreenPower accredited energy plans, enabling Australian households to use energy from renewable energy sources.
GreenPower is a joint initiative of several State & Territory government agencies that have joined together to run the GreenPower accreditation program.
The energy companies that supply Green Power are audited annually to ensure that the service provided still meets the requirements of this independent organisation. GreenPower agencies audit electricity retailers' sales and purchases as well as the electricity generators operations to ensure they meet the set accreditation criteria and to ensure that consumers get what they pay for.
There are close to 900,000 Australians who have chosen GreenPower plans, and their efforts in reducing carbon dioxide emissions has equated to taking over one million cars off the roads.

After 10 years of discussion and four years of political dispute, Australia’s carbon tax laws have finally received the green light from the Senate. But what does this mean for Australia, its citizens and the environment?
The carbon tax is the government's new climate change policy that puts a price on carbon. This means that polluters will be charged for every tonne of carbon they release into the air – and this tax will come into effect as of July 2012.

The carbon tax rolls out July 1st 2012. Moneyhound explains how it will affect you.
