One of the things that I have been meaning to do, for years, but am just getting around to is getting setup on the GreenMax program from EnMax.
I found their website wasn't completely clear on whether or not Enmax guarantees that the power you purchase actually results in more power being bought from wind producers and less from fossil fuels.
I gave them a call, and the EnMax rep seemed to indicate that GreenMax was more of a soft fund, to "promote" wind power development and not really a guarantee that any specific amount of energy would ultimately be purchased from renewable sources.
I say "seemed to indicate" because this customer representative had to ask someone else for information, and we had to go back and forth a bit, before she eventually answered my question. (As a side question, is Enmax using offshore call centers?? operator had an Indian accent and I didn't feel like we communicated very easily.)
Failing intellegent information from EnMax themselves... Anyone here know anything about the Greenmax program?
Everything else I read about "Green Energy (R)" programs indicates that there should be some form of a guarantee to purchase a fixed amount of kWh and displace fossil fuel purchases.
So... Is GreenMax a true Green Energy program? or is it a scham?
My guess, and hope, is that it is a true Green Energy program, and the rep I spoke to was just out to lunch... in Mumbai.
