100% renewable electricity
In 2023, Taronga Zoo Sydney and Taronga Western Plains Zoo became the first zoos in NSW to be powered by 100% renewable electricity.
Clean energy is a step towards helping secure a future for all animals. By switching to Red Energy as our electricity provider, Taronga has taken a huge step on our journey to Net Zero by 2030, halving our carbon emissions – that’s 7,000 tonnes of CO2 no longer being released into the atmosphere each year.
Plus, Taronga is directly supporting clean electricity generation from a solar farm that is local, on Wiradjuri Country near Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo. By doing so, Taronga and Red Energy are directly supporting the transition to clean energy in NSW.
Red Energy Plans
Both plans come with a renewable matching promise, which means for every unit of electricity you buy from Red Energy, Snowy Hydro Limited will match it by generating one unit of electricity from a renewable source.
Red Wildlife Saver
Since its inception, customers on the Red Wildlife Saver plan have helped contribute more than $300,000 (and growing!), which assists Taronga in the conservation of many endangered native species, such as Koalas, Marine Turtles and Platypus.
