Renewable energy is derived from inexhaustible sources such as wind, the sun, sea or replacement sources such as waste products and crops. It is a long-term way to tackle climate change.
Renewable energy has a number of benefits that positively impact the environment and you as a consumer:
- A secure, local and replenishable resource
- Less dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels
- Cleaner air
- Less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases
- A good option for people living in remote areas who may find it difficult or costly to get connected to the grid
