energy – How buildings with eco-electricity know their electricity is eco? – GWC Mag

Walking around the city centre of Warsaw I saw a poster placed by a construction zone of a new skyscraper. The poster said something along the lines “our building will use electricity from windfarm in XYZ Norway”. (I can double check tomorrow.)

I started wondering: how is that possible? I highly doubt that there is special very long cable that runs from Norway to that very building in Warsaw.

I presume that there is some big electricity distribution centre in Poland and that distribution centre buys some energy from that wind farm in Norway. If that’s the case, then the poster is just a scam. Let me portray that with an example. Being in Australia and saying: “oh you there, oh come here and taste this amazing lemonade that was made with water specially gathered on the beach in Mexico”. Where in fact water was just a regular tap water sourced in Australia.

Looking forward to a conversation 🙂
