Is Nectr environmentally friendly?

Green Electricity Guide Rating: 7.3/10

Nectr is one of the greenest retailers available in Australia ranking 6th (out of 39 energy companies) in Greenpeace's 2022 Green Electricity Guide rankings.

Nectr sells energy from 100% renewable sources. Its parent company is involved in renewable energy building solar farms in Australia.

In addition Nectr offers carbon neutral plans at no extra costs.

Adding on GreenPower

You can further support green energy by adding on GreenPower for an extra fee. This is a government initiative supported by Nectr, that will see the provider offset your power usage by purchasing the same amount of renewable energy from an accredited source.

While some providers offer varying percentages of your power to be made up from GreenPower, Nectr only offers 100% clean energy plans.
