In addition Nectr offers carbon neutral plans at no extra costs.

Adding on GreenPower

You can further support green energy by adding on GreenPower for an extra fee. This is a government initiative supported by Nectr, that will see the provider offset your power usage by purchasing the same amount of renewable energy from an accredited source.
