Carbon neutral
As a Powershop customer, all of your energy usage is certified carbon neutral at no extra cost.
Meridian Energy Australia has been certified carbon neutral under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard, run by the Australian Government. Although it’s a bit of a mouthful, as the first power company to be accredited in Australia, we’re chuffed.
Meridian Energy Australia, Powershop, and all our operations are certified carbon neutral under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard. But importantly for our customers, the carbon neutral certification applies to our product as well. So if you’re a Powershop customer all your energy usage is certified carbon neutral – at no extra cost to you!
Why did Powershop go carbon neutral?
No matter which energy retailer you buy your electricity from, it all comes from the same central pool because all energy retailers in Australia buy their electricity from the National Electricity Market.
Because we can’t control which electrons are actually delivered to your home or business, we made the decision to offset 100% of the carbon emissions associated with our customers’ electricity use, to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint.
