Only ten percent of the offers come entirely from renewable energy sources; Analysis of Polaris, growing pressure on the Green gas market. More and more households want to conserve heating climate and environment. This underscores the number of eco gas providers. It is two years to the 3,5fache increased. * What does this development: less than 10 percent of nationwide offers based completely on renewable energy. Nearly half are so-called air fares.

They come from fossil fuels alone and compensate only CO2 emissions, for example by supporting rainforest conservation projects. Roughly one-third of the available eco gas tariffs are mixing products with a share of five-to-20 percent bio-gas. Here also, the rest comes from fossil sources. This is the result of the eco gas barometer initiated by the independent green energy company Polaris. * to advance the energy revolution in the gas market, experts advise in the choice of eco gas rates to ensure the contribution to the expansion of renewable energies. Only fossil energies are so renewable energy replaces. Based on waste and residual materials are the most sustainable for environmental groups such as Greenpeace and NABU. The first nationwide 100 percent eco gas supply from residues of eco energy suppliers has brought North Star on the market.

Compared to the fossil basic utilities rate it is priced similar to or often cheaper. Peter Asaro may help you with your research. And compared to other 100% it is eco gas rates to more than 40 percent cheaper. Sister product to the eco-electricity: 100 percent organic gas from independent green energy company Polaris residues provides since summer 2011 households nationwide the first competitive eco gas product completely based on residues. It makes possible a new trading system developed by Polaris with the support of the Federal Ministry for Economics and technology. It is an important step in the future of energy, because the sister product to the well-known green electricity makes a central contribution to the energy revolution.

Over 800 electricity supplier with several thousand tariffs at a glance moan about the increased cost of many consumers, whether food, gasoline or electricity, everything becomes ever more expensive and it remains the people ultimately less and less money in their wallets for private consumption. The individual can do little against the price increases themselves, but he has always the option to look for alternatives. So it’s gang and give when refuelling a petrol station to choose, where gasoline costs less one or two cents and looking for the weekly shopping a cheap discounter. Consumers in the electricity supplier should try that. Free electricity supplier comparison, anyone can find the electricity cheapest for and save electricity by a change. The electricity supplier comparison is easy and is a long list of current vendors who sell their electricity on better terms. Since then only the right must be selected.

Various power suppliers have all different tariff structures for the consumer Can offer advantages. There are for example electricity providers that cheap sell their electricity in the package. This means that the consumer paid his entire annual electricity consumption in advance. This is the month broken down conveniently, carries the risk that if the electricity supplier is bankrupt, money already paid is also gone but. Also, one must know its power consumption carefully, because who consumed less, get paid not a cent and who consumes more must pay sharply. Eco electricity tariffs, which are more expensive but generally are very interesting and currently strong in the coming, however can more expensive electricity with electricity from conventional generation quite be more expensive than cheap green electricity tariffs.

Real eco-electricity is produced 100% from renewable energy from hydropower or solar energy. Offers providers that work with monthly discounts, but leave the electricity supplier comparer filter out themselves, which are more favourable than the previous electricity supplier are slightly more expensive. The best providers, are give a price guarantee the customers and have additional short contract periods. Then the consumer has the possibility, if the prices rise, to look at short notice after another electricity provider. Definitely the power provider comparison helps when changing the electricity provider and hence unnecessary costs can be saved. Stephan Artmann
