Internode moves to 100% green power
Australia ISP, Internode, says it will now purchase all its power from green sources despite having to pay a 20% premium on its electricity supply.
Internode, which achieved carbon neutral status last year through the purchase of carbon credit offsets, will now buy green power in Australia from ‘fully audited sources,’ says Internode managing director Simon Hackett.
“Our single largest source of carbon emission is power generation to drive our large and rapidly growing data centres, as well as our offices. We’ve decided to solve that emission type ‘at source’ by purchasing certified renewable energy certificates,” Hackett said.
Internode will continue to purchase offsets to maintain its carbon neutral status, the company said.
