NaturalPower

What is NaturalPower?

NaturalPower is energy that is generated from renewable sources. These are sources that cannot be depleted or can be replaced, such as wind. Generating renewable energy produces no greenhouse gas and therefore has minimal impact on the environment.

NaturalPower is accredited by the National GreenPower Accreditation Program. The GreenPower logo is your independent guarantee that NaturalPower comes from genuine, government approved renewable energy sources. NaturalPower is sourced only from accredited GreenPower generated in WA and is available for residential and business customers. 

How does it work?

All energy generated (coal-fuelled, solar, wind, hydro,etc) goes into ‘the grid’ and a mix of those energy types is delivered to your home. When you switch to NaturalPower you will still receive a mix of energy types, as it is not practical to install additional power lines just to carry NaturalPower. However, we guarantee the amount of energy you use will be sourced from renewable sources generated in WA. The benefits to the environment of delivering NaturalPower this way are the same as those that would be gained from delivering it directly to your home and it ensures you have a more reliable energy supply all year round.

Essentially, the more NaturalPower sold the greater the demand for renewable energy will be. This will help stimulate further investment in WA renewable energy sources for the future.  

It doesn’t cost the earth

NaturalPower only costs an extra 4.4c per unit including GST. Call us on 13 13 53 and we’ll work out how much extra it will cost you. You just need to decide what percentage of your electricity you’d like to be NaturalPower (25%, 50%, 75% or 100%) and we'll work out the rest. Alternatively you can use our green energy calculator to determine the costs and environmental benefits.

Where does my money go?

Synergy puts the extra money you pay towards purchasing renewable energy, which in general is more expensive to produce. As a GreenPower accredited product, all power purchased is from WA renewable energy sources, to stimulate and support development of the renewable energy industry.
