Greenpeace's updated Clean Energy Guide

Greenpeace has released an updated version of it's Clean Energy Guide, which ranks New Zealand's electricity companies on their contribution to climate change, both now and in the future. The updated guide encourages New Zealand consumers to switch to a cleaner electricity supplier. Switching to a cleaner electricity supplier is easy. You can make the switch simply by ringing your current power company and telling them you want to change, or online at http://www.cleanenergyguide.org.nz. The guide ranks each company that feeds into the national grid according to its current supply and future commitment to clean, renewable energy. This edition also takes into account each company's energy efficiency programmes and whether they encourage households to generate their own renewable electricity. Our last guide helped many New Zealanders switch to cleaner electricity, and helped stop Mighty River Power's Marsden B coal-fired power station.
