Green Electricity

With the liberalisation of the electricity market, the customer may not only rely on the electricity offer of the local power supplier, but also use the offers of competitors. The number of offers and providers of green power, i. e. electricity of renewable energy sources such as power from water, wind or solar, increases in most countries since then.

In order to give the consumers transparent decision guidance, despite the complexity of the elec-tricity market, different green power labels were developed and introduced into the market. The present paper point out, how power generation on basis of renewable energies considering cer-tain green power labels can be included into tendering procedures. In addition the quality of green power offers, as well as its environmental additional impact, will be examined.
