Founded in 2005, Bullfrog Power makes use of only low impact water power and wind power generations stations: an approx 80/20 split. They have thus far been offering their services to both homeowners and businesses in a few of the larger provinces of Canada, mainly Alberta and Ontario, and are rapidly expanding as consumption and support for clean power grows.
The key to the innovative, simple and easy process of signing up for Bullfrog Power all lies within their method of power distribution. When a user subscribes to Bullfrog Power nothing changes in terms of power consumption or physical set up, what does change however, is that Bullfrog begins pumping an equivalent amount of clean power into the grid. Consequently by signing up for Bullfrog Power you are effectively “ensuring that your electricity dollars are supporting 100% clean, renewable power production instead of nuclear, gas, oil and coal”.
While it might not be that apparent, in many parts of the world green clean power generation is slowly taking hold and growing faster than ever. In Canada alone Bullfrog Power support and use by consumers has already had a notably large effect on the grid with newly commissioned wind turbines in Canada as a direct result of increased power demands . The conversion to Bullfrog Power costs homeowners in Ontario and Alberta about a dollar a day more and fifty cents a day more respectively. This might add a bit to your monthly bill, but it is definitely a small price to pay if you consider how far your contribution goes towards the support of sustainable green power generation and the “production of carbon-free power” across the grid.
A company committed to bettering the environment, they are also an active supporter of sustainable technology on the whole:
“At Bullfrog Power, we believe businesses can serve a vital function as community leaders in promoting and fostering responsible environmental action. We are a “double bottom line” company that maintains a dual focus on environmental responsibility and profitability. The company has pledged to donate 10% of profits to organizations that support sustainability.”
It is definitely great to finally see such growth and support within the green technology community, I know I am definitely going to look into converting to Bullfrog Power when it is available to my grid.
