Choosing clean energy

Consumers wanting to lower their carbon footprint can now choose Ecotricity’s Toitū climate positive certified electricity and help to significantly reduce the country’s CO2 emissions. Ecotricity, the first energy company to be Toitū climate positive certified, supplies the national grid with power sourced only from hydro, wind or solar sources. And while there’s currently no way consumers in New Zealand can ensure that they only receive ‘green’ electricity from the national grid, Ecotricity believes it’s more important to focus on the generation side to help get the New Zealand electricity grid to 100 per cent renewable.
