About GreenPower
GreenPower is a government-managed program that enables individuals and businesses to support the renewable transition through matching their electricity use with government-accredited renewable electricity.
GreenPower’s mission is to help energy users access government-accredited, Australian-made renewable electricity and renewable fuels to reduce emissions. By selecting GreenPower, your renewable electricity purchase doesn’t flow directly to your property. Instead your provider will source the equivalent amount of renewable energy certificates from a GreenPower-accredited generator.
By purchasing GreenPower, businesses can make renewable electricity claims, meet international sustainability standards, demonstrate their sustainability values and reduce their Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions.
You can learn more about the GreenPower Program here.
Note: If you opt in to buying GreenPower, the charges will appear on your bill as additional charges and are based on your usage measured in kWh.

The Renewable Energy Target (RET) is a national initiative established by the Australian Federal Government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the electricity sector and to promote the development of electricity generation from renewable and sustainable sources.
Under the RET, the Large-scale Renewable Energy Scheme provides financial incentives for the construction and expansion of renewable energy power stations, including wind farms, solar farms, and hydroelectric facilities. This framework supports Australia’s transition to a cleaner energy future by encouraging investment in large-scale renewable infrastructure. GreenPower purchases are additional to the RET.
Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) are tradable units created for every 1,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of eligible renewable electricity generated by accredited power stations.
These certificates serve as a mechanism for energy companies to meet their obligations under the Renewable Energy Target. LGCs are purchased and surrendered by liable entities—typically electricity retailers—to demonstrate compliance with the scheme and contribute to national emissions reduction goals.
Energy Bay GreenPower is an accredited renewable energy product available to customers within Energy Bay’s embedded networks. This offering is made possible through Diamond Energy, Energy Bay’s fully integrated and wholly owned electricity retail company, which is an approved participant in the national GreenPower program.
When businesses opt for Energy Bay GreenPower, Diamond Energy purchase and retire Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs), equivalent to your selected percentage of electricity consumption, from GreenPower accredited sources.
These LGCs represent electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar. Through Diamond Energy purchasing and surrendering these certificates on your behalf, we ensure that your energy usage contributes directly to Australia’s renewable energy transition and helps reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.
Each year, an independent auditor verifies that Diamond Energy has acquired and surrendered the appropriate number of GreenPower certificates in line with customer purchases. This transparent process guarantees the integrity of your GreenPower commitment and supports the long-term shift to sustainable electricity generation.
