Green Power
Choosing green, carbon-free power is an easy way to do your part to help fight climate change and create a healthier environment for future generations.

Green power is energy generated by low-impact renewable or sustainable sources — resources that are replenished naturally and with minimal harm to the environment. Generating green power is cleaner than producing conventional energy because it produces little or no air, ground or water pollution. Green power sources include wind, solar, biomass (burning plant materials and wood waste), and small-scale hydro-power (including run-of-the-river). (Source: the Pembina Institute)
