We want to share the different possibilities that exist in the Spanish market for contracting 100% renewable energy rates, the marketers and the different options that we can find in the market. In the market we can also find it marketed as clean or green energy.
For any company that is starting to sell energy, or for companies that are already operating, we recommend the online tool with basic functionalities to start commercial management in the electricity sector Cloud Energy.
Regardless of the regulation that the government makes of the sector, we consumers can have great power to change the rules. And it is that by the simple fact of contracting and consuming electricity from renewable sources, we will be able to demand the market to produce it, to the detriment of the most polluting energies. Your decision will promote renewable energy projects at the national level, and also at the local level.
It is actually quite simple, a decision that is within your reach, and that will not have any decrease in the service that you usually receive. Renewable energy marketers in Spain are as reliable as the multinational that bills the most, on this issue. From the comfort of your home, and without paying another euro for electricity, you can join the fight for clean energy and put a stop to the much-feared climate change. Clean or green energy has the same price as the most polluting energy.
The change of marketer is as simple as if you changed your mobile company, zero inconvenience.
But what is 100% renewable electricity?
100% renewable electricity is that which is generated from renewable sources, with a very low environmental impact, that is, wind or solar energy, to name the best known. Renewable energy generation technologies have zero or very low emissions of polluting gases.
Since we know what renewable electricity is, now some will think that we cannot distinguish or know if the electricity that reaches our house is renewable or non-renewable. And this is partly true, but not entirely. To certify that the electricity we consume at home is clean, there is a system in Spain called “Guarantees of Origin (GdOs)”. A system that is managed directly by the National Competition Markets Commission and that certifies, without a doubt, that the electricity we contract and consume is 100% renewable.
The more people request renewable electricity, the more producers there will have to be behind generating that energy. A way of making politicians see that society wants renewable energies.
