For those, like me, currently paying a premium for 100% Green Power in some form, this is depressing news:
So I'll now be paying FOR big business, with no additonal gain in green power generation? :-(
Although I guess if you think the whole carbon thing is a load of bunk, and just want your power from a renewable source, that extra energy must still be generated into the grid under the current acceditation scheme (as before, depending upon which GreenPower scheme you are on). So, for example, all things being equal, if the carbon targets are all met, and the green power sources are maxed out - paying extra for 100% new Green Power should still mean additional new green power delivered onto the grid? Unless they plan on chaning the GreenPower guidelines too?
It's hard to make heads or tails of this mess.
Dave.
