Green electricity: What makes a quality product?

“Green electricity” is a somewhat open-ended term. There are major discrepancies between the concept of “green electricity”, as viewed from an ecological perspective, and the product that is actually sold by electricity suppliers as “green power”. Customers wishing to switch to another supplier should therefore start by comparing electricity products.

It goes without saying that green electricity should be generated entirely from renewable energy sources. The main issue of relevance, however, is whether the supplier is actively engaged in promoting, or is focused strategically on supporting, the energy transition, rather than simply keeping a note in its records of individual customers who are committed to green power and allocating “100% green electricity” to them.
