Feeling a little helpless about the perils of climate change? Us too. To take back some control, we’ve teamed up with Momentum Energy to learn more about how seemingly small switches can have a positive environmental impact. 

Here are five important reasons why choosing the right energy provider can support an eco-friendly environment on our precious Earth. 

Reduce Harmful Carbon Emissions

Solar, wind and hydroelectric power—no, these aren’t Power Rangers characters, they're renewable energy resources critical to transitioning away from damaging fossil fuels. Momentum Energy is 100% owned by Hydro Tasmania, Australia's largest generator of renewable energy. 

Local Economic Benefits

It's now more important than ever to support local businesses, and making sure you’re opting for local Aussie providers means you’re pumping jobs to local workers and stimulating economic growth, rather than outsourcing overseas. Momentum Energy is proudly Australian owned and operated across Melbourne and Tassie, which is a massive tick from us. 

Trust Recognised Ratings

Momentum Energy received 4.5 out of 5 stars in Greenpeace’s 2022 Green Electricity Guide—a guide that looked at 48 Australian power companies and ranked them on what they’re doing for (or to) our planet. When you can see the stats, you can rest easy knowing you’re supporting positive change.

Add Some GreenPower To Your Grid

Have a few pennies to spare? Momentum offers customers GreenPower—a government accredited program that ensures your renewable energy purchases are added to the grid on your behalf. Adding GreenPower to your electricity plan works by adding a little extra to your power bill that helps support Australian renewable projects.

If you know a great local Melbourne business doing their bit to become more eco-friendly, Momentum Energy is giving away up to a year’s worth of free* electricity up to the value of $2,500. That's right, simply nominate your fave local for the chance to win. Head to the comp and keep those fingers crossed.

The prize will be applied as a credit on the winner’s electricity bill. Click here to view the full T&Cs.
