PRODUCE YOUR OWN RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable energy is often referred to as clean natural energy. It’s energy produced by natural resources such as wind, water, waste or solar. That’s right - the natural sunshine can be used to generate electricity to flick on your light switch at home.

Can you believe that an average household may contribute up to eight tonnes of greenhouse gases each and every year?

Thinking there must be something you can do? There is!

There are a number of renewable initiatives out there that anyone can take part in, including you and your household. 

At Australian Power & Gas we value the opportunity we each have to help our environment. Here are some ideas to consider if you're thinking about producing your own renewable energy.

Solar

We all require hot water for day to day activities. A solar hot water system can help to reduce hot water costs by almost 80%. Think about the dollar savings as well as the greenhouse gas savings. Solar is a long term investment that helps the environment and provides ongoing savings.

Solar energy panels

Basically these are panels placed on your roof that collect the suns rays which is then converted into electricity for use. They may not be cheap to install, but over time you will save money on your energy account whilst doing your bit to reduce the greenhouse gases your household produces.

Wind

There are a number of emerging technologies that allow you to generate electricity from small wind turbines. These systems can work well when combined with solar applications allowing electricity to be generated on sunny days with little wind or windy days with little sun.
