The Clean Energy Guide 2007

Thanks to the first guide, thousands more New Zealanders are now making the connection between the electricity they use at home and the impact on the climate. Many have translated this into meaningful action by switching to a cleaner electricity provider or emailing the not-so-good companies to urge them to invest in renewable energy.

This has sent a powerful message to all energy providers. Consumer action also helped put a stop to Mighty River Power's Marsden B coal-fired power station plans, which were dropped in March this year.

So we've reviewed the Clean Energy Guide and this time round we've included some more information. We've taken into account each company's energy efficiency and conservation programs, because reducing energy use is just as important for a sustainable future as choosing a cleaner electricity provider.

We've also assessed each company on whether they encourage households to generate their own renewable electricity through offering net metering (where households can be paid to feed any excess electricity they generate back into the grid).

So if you haven't already, make the clean energy switch today at Clean Energy Guide!
