Australia’s energy market can be bewildering, but a new consumer guide aims to reveal the reality behind ads featuring wind farms
Australian electricity providers have been ranked on their climate credentials in a new consumer guide that aims to cut through “greenwash”.
Greenpeace’s 2022 Green Electricity Guide, released on Tuesday, assessed 48 Australian energy retailers on six main criteria: providing renewable energy, ending coal use by 2030, halting fossil fuel expansion, supporting new renewable energy, transparency of marketing and pollution and environmental harm. Then, each provider was given a score out of five stars and ranked.
