What is climate positive certified energy?
As New Zealand’s only Toitū climate positive certified electricity retailer, we annually purchase and certify all our electricity from certified Toitū climate positive generation sources. Any remaining greenhouse gas emissions created through the maintenance and production of these generation plants are measured and offset at 125%. As a result, we can guarantee that the electricity powering your home or business has no carbon emissions associated with it.
