Australia's greenest electricity providers

Greenpeace Australia has updated their guide to green electricity providers.  The last one was done in 2018.  Then, as now, Diamond Energy and Enova (a community electricity co-op) top the list.  At the bottom of the list are the big electricity utilities, producing most of their electricity from black, or, even worse, brown coal.   Here's the scoring card for the lowest ranked utility, AGL, which spends a lot of advertising money on images with wind and solar farms trying to make itself appear green when it really, really isn't.  35% of Oz's emissions come from electricity generation.  You can make your own significant personal contribution to reducing emissions by switching to one of the suppliers on the top of Greenpeace's list.
