Quality green electricity in Belgium (Test-Achats)




by Christophe » 13/03/11, 19:17

Test Achat has just published, in collaboration with Greenpeace, an article on the "quality" (and how it works) of green electricity in Belgium (is it really green or not?) According to the supplier: the results are not really good especially for large operators.

It is available in full and free on their site.

Green electricity: not so green as that

The so-called 100% green electricity is not necessarily, or only partially. You can, by your choice of supplier, support the policy of a company that favors the development of renewable energy. In any case, you are entitled to more transparent information about the exact source of the electricity you buy.

Compare electricity rates

You can support renewable energy through your choice of energy supplier. But take the trouble to compare the prices of different suppliers. Opting for the most advantageous formula will allow you to make great savings. As a Test-Achats subscriber, you can even sometimes benefit from an exclusive advantage.

Collaboration with Greenpeace

Some supplier gives more interest to renewable energy; another prefers to invest in conventional energy sources, which are more polluting in CO2 emissions. Based on this idea, we compared the suppliers present in Belgium in collaboration with Greenpeace.

The Greenpeace evaluation method

Greenpeace has already been using a method since 2003 to assess the extent to which the policy of energy suppliers is really "green". If you want to know more about what the environmental organization takes into account, watch the video clip.

Is there an equivalent of this comparison for France?

Go back to "Fossil energies: oil, gas, coal and nuclear electricity (fission and fusion)"
