Love planet-protecting renewable energy? Us too.

Renewable energy

Our renewable promise

If you’re signed up to SmilePower, we make sure that for any electricity you use, an equivalent amount of clean, renewable energy is added to the grid. Between all our SmilePower customers, that’s more than a billion kilowatt hours of renewable energy each year. The (other) best bit? You don’t pay any extra for it.

Get behind a good thing.

The real choice you make when you’re looking at energy suppliers isn’t about where your energy comes from (spoiler: always the same place) it’s about where your money goes.

With us, it’s into the growth of our parent company Hydro Tasmania – the largest generator of renewable energy in Australia.

Get more for solar, too.

If you’re already producing renewable energy with solar, we take our hat off to you (but only briefly, on account of the sun).

Our promise to solar users is that if you’re on our Solar Step-Up plan, you’ll get a better feed-in tariff than the Victorian Government minimum until at least June 2020.

What's your relationship with Hydro?

Hydro Tasmania is Australia's largest renewable energy generator. We're 100% owned by Hydro, who purchased Momentum so they could expand into energy retailing. In 2010 Hydro launched the Hydro Tasmania Group which includes Momentum and Entura, who consult on renewable projects around the world.

What is renewable energy?

Renewable energy is energy from renewable sources that are replenished frequently enough to be considered renewable such as wind, water and sun. It's also known as green energy.

What is SmilePower?

SmilePower flexi is one of our electricity plans. If you choose it, we make sure that for every bit of energy you use, an equivalent amount of clean, renewable energy is added to the grid.

To make sure we're keeping our promise, an external agency audits SmilePower annually. Their most recent audit is here.
