What you hear is true - the world’s demand for electricity is significantly increasing. This means that power generating technologies are being developed around the world.

Thankfully, technology has also allowed the world to develop new ways of generating electricity through the use of renewable resources such as wind, solar, biomass, geothermal, and others. The EcoLogo Program is supporting the use and development of renewable energy solutions by revising its standard for Renewable Low-Impact Electricity that will help reduce impacts on human health and the environment. read more
