As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, carbon neutrality has emerged as a crucial concept in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon-neutral energy plans are sustainable energy products that aim to offset the carbon emissions produced by generating electricity. These innovative energy plans prioritise the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy, which have a minimal carbon footprint.Ā Ā
They work by supporting investment in renewable energy projects, or purchasing carbon credits to compensate for the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere during energy generation. Hereās how carbon neutral energy plans work in detail:Ā
Some energy providers allocate a portion of their revenue from carbon neutral energy plans to fund renewable energy projects such as solar, wind, or hydroelectric power. This helps increase the share of clean energy in the overall electricity generation mix.Ā
Carbon neutral energy plans may involve the energy supplier buying carbon credits from verified projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These projects could be located within Australia or internationally. By purchasing these credits, the energy provider offsets carbon emissions in equal portion to the energy consumption of the plan's customers.Ā
Some carbon neutral energy plans also focus on promoting energy efficiency measures. This can include providing energy-saving tips to retail and business customers, offering incentives for adopting energy-efficient appliances, or conducting energy audits to identify areas for improvement in energy useĀ
Switching to a carbon neutral energy plan allows individuals and businesses to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future. It supports the development of renewable energy sources and so helps combat climate change. Ā
By choosing a cleaner, greener energy plan, you can make a positive impact on the environment and support the transition to cleaner energy sources. Explore your energy plan options here through Savvy to find the best carbon neutral energy plan for your needs.Ā
Switching to a carbon neutral energy plan is a simple and impactful way to reduce your carbon footprint and support renewable energy. Here's how you can make the switch with Savvy here today:Ā
Start by reviewing your current energy plan so youĀ understand the details of your electricity and gas use. Check if your current provider offers a carbon neutral option, or if you need to switch to a different provider.Ā
Simply give us some basic details about your electricity and gas needs and usage. If you have solar panels, and are also after a cheap solar plan, let us know theĀ currentĀ feed-in tariff you receive and how much electricity your solar system generates.Ā
We'll show you a range of electricity plans available in your state. Explore the different green energy plans available in your area, and compare these plans to see if you can save money by switching providers. Look for the energy providers that offer the best carbon neutral energy plans when comparing plans.Ā
Consider factors such as the percentage of renewable energy on offer with the plan, the credibility of carbon offset projects supported by the plan, and any additional costs imposed to provide a carbon neutral plan. To get the best energy plan possible, make sure your chosen plan also meets your other needs for a great energy plan. Ā
Natural gas is charged per megajoule (MJ) and is typically between 1.5 and 4.8 cents per MJ. Tariffs for gas are often sold in price blocks, so you pay a different (higher) rate for the first 100 MJ you use, and less for subsequent amounts.Ā Ā
All energy retailers offer deals based on the electricity reference price and average usage in your area. They also state the percentage difference between their price and the national reference price, so you can compare costs easily. For example, one company's electricity plan may be 6% cheaper than the reference price, while another may be 2% cheaper. This allows you to see which option offers better savings. Ā
Once you've identified a suitable carbon neutral energy plan, select the plan and make the switch all in one place right away, without having to search on other websites. Thatās the Savvy difference ā we make it so easy for you to make the switch! Your new energy provider will reach out to you and then initiate the switching process. They will guide you through the necessary steps, which may include filling out an application form and providing some basic details about your current energy supply.Ā
Your new provider will handle all the details of the switch, so you donāt have to contact your old provider or worry about being left without gas or electricity. All the switching details will be taken care of on your behalf.Ā
Once the switch is complete, you can start enjoying the benefits of a carbon neutral energy plan. Your electricity will be sourced from renewable energy projects or balanced by carbon credits, ensuring that your energy consumption has a minimal impact on the environment.Ā
Switching to a carbon neutral energy plan demonstrates your commitment to sustainability and supports the growth of renewable energy in Australia. It's a tangible step towards combating climate change and creating a greener future for generations to come. Ā
No, carbon neutral energy plans are not available in all parts of Australia. The availability of these plans depends on the state or territory you live in. While most regions in the eastern and southern states allow customers to choose from multiple energy retailers, there are areas where customers have less choice. In the Northern Territory, for example, there are currently no mains natural gas retailers. As a result, residents only have the option to switch LPG gas bottle providers. In Western Australia, the gas market is regulated by the state government. Depending on your location, you may have limited or no choice when it comes to selecting your electricity or gas provider.Ā
However, in most of the other states and territories, you will be able to compare different types of energy plans through Savvy and look at the different green energy options available.
