Clean Energy Program
You can support the renewable energy industry in Australia by joining our Clean Energy Program.
By adding a voluntary contribution through your electricity account, you’re helping us invest in more renewable energy like wind and biomass.
It’s simple to set up, flexible, and you can cancel any time.
What's the Clean Energy Program?
When you subscribe to our Clean Energy Program, you pay an extra amount on your electricity bill.
That extra helps us buy renewable energy certificates from Greenpower-accredited renewable energy generators across Queensland. In short, you’re backing more clean energy being added to the grid.
The Clean Energy Program is fully accredited by GreenPower.
When you subscribe to our Clean Energy Program, your electricity does not come directly from a renewable source to your property. Instead, the equivalent amount of renewable energy is added to the electricity grid on your behalf.
The renewable energy comes from GreenPower-accredited renewable generators across regional Queensland, including:
- Wind farms at Mount Emerald
- Biomass energy from Queensland sugar mills.
These sources produce zero net greenhouse gas emissions, helping reduce the overall environmental impact of electricity use.
How much does the Clean Energy Program cost?
Residential customers
You can choose a quarterly subscription that suits your household and budget.
Subscriptions start from $25 per quarter, which covers around 25% of the average Queensland home’s electricity use.
Your subscription is prorated based on the number of days on your bill, so the amount may vary slightly month to month.
Residential subscription options (per quarter):
Subscription options (per quarter) 1 | Prorated cost per day | Kilowatt hours (kWh) per annum | Greenhouse gas emission savings per day (kg) | Percentage usage of Clean Energy of average regional Queensland home 2 |
$25 | $0.28 | 1,625 | 3.6 | 25% |
$50 | $0.55 | 3,250 | 7.2 | 50% |
$75 | $0.83 | 4,875 | 10.8 | 75% |
$100 | $1.11 | 6,500 | 14.4 | 100% |
Even a small contribution adds up and helps support more renewable energy across the state.
1 Costs are based on annual kilowatt hour usage estimates split over four quarterly bills.
2 Emissions calculated using October 2020 National Greenhouse Accounts Factors.
3 Percentages are based on average household electricity usage in regional Queensland of 6,500 kWh per annum.
Business customers
If you’re a business customer, our Clean Energy Program works a little differently. Here’s what you need to know.
Instead of a fixed dollar amount, businesses choose the percentage of electricity they want us to source from GreenPower-accredited renewable generators.
From 1 July 2026, new business customers can choose:
- 50%
- 100%
If you were already on the Clean Energy Program before 30 June 2026, you can stay on your current percentage (i.e. 2.5%, 5%, 10% or 25%.)
Clean Energy costs 6.22 1 cents per kilowatt hour on top of your existing business tariff.
1Clean Energy Pricing is subject to change.
Promote your commitment to renewable energy
Subscribing to Clean Energy isn’t just good for the environment – it can be good for your business too.
From 1 July 2026, if you choose 100% Clean Energy, you may be eligible to use the GreenPower logo on your signage and marketing materials. It’s a simple way to show that you’re serious about sustainability. You can request to use the GreenPower logo at their website.
