Types of Renewable Energy

Types of green power

Green power is electricity generated from renewable, non-polluting resources such as, wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, hydrogen/fuel cells and wave or tidal action. Because green power comes from sources that never run out, like the wind and the sun, renewable energy is limitless. Green power is also clean. It does not add pollution to the atmosphere.

The increasing demand for green power enables electricity customers to accelerate installation of renewable energy technologies. As more green power sources are developed, the overall environmental impacts associated with electricity generation will be significantly reduced.
