Is renewable energy reliable? Is there enough to supply me?
All electricity produced from electricity generators (coal or renewable energy) is pumped into our electricity grid. It is the grid operators that ensure reliability to customers, coordinating supply with demand. They gauge when certain generators are operating or idle. Therefore, electricity from specific renewable energy generators does not directly go to individual houses and has no impact on reliability. As demand for accredited Green Power increases from customers, energy suppliers will buy more renewable energy from new renewable energy generators. An investment in accredited Green Power will feed more energy from clean renewable energy sources into the grid that services your home.
