Renewable Energy is energy (usually Electricity) created from renewable sources such as Wind, Solar or Hydro power. These sources are naturally replenished and do not use carbon or fossil fuels to generate the electricity. Carbon or fossil fuels are strongly linked to causing the Climate crisis.
Green Energy or Renewable Energy is supplied to ALL Pinergy customers in accordance with the Commission for Regulation of Utilities verification process. The Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) and the Single Electricity Market Operator (SEMO) carry out an annual verification process of suppliers’ green source products to validate their 100% renewable credibility. This confirms that a customer on such a product is using electricity sourced entirely from renewable generation.
A Guarantee of Origin (GO) or Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGO) certificate certifies that electricity generated is from renewable energy sources. GOs and REGOs are traded at a European level. Suppliers can purchase GOs to use as proof of the share or quantity of energy from renewable sources. The SEMO confirms to the supplier the percentage of their green source product demand met from renewable generation, GOs and REGOs.
