What are the green house gas emissions figures based on and how do they apply to my consumption?
For the 2008 financial year, a final dividend of 13 cents per share (fully franked) will be paid on 3 October 2008. The carbon emissions graph shows you how much carbon emissions (also known as greenhouse gas emissions) have been produced by your electricity consumption. The less electricity you use the less greenhouse gas emissions you generate. The greenhouse gas emissions are calculated using a state specific greenhouse gas emissions factor. For South Australia the greenhouse gas emissions factor is 0.98kg of CO2e per kilowatt hour (kWh). This means that for every kilowatt hour of electricity you consume, 0.98kg of CO2e (greenhouse gas emissions) is emitted into the atmosphere. An average South Australian household consuming 5,000kWh per year produces 4,900kg of CO2e emissions or 4.9 tonnes of CO2e emissions. This calculation is used as the basis to derive the carbon emissions graph. • Further information on the greenhouse gas emissions factors. Please note: If you are on a GreenPow
