SUSTAINABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES (SECs)


FTFA is pleased to announce that you can now offset your energy usage footprint through Sustainable Energy Certificates (SECs). This option in built into the FTFA carbon calculator (See below).

As South African's, the biggest contributor to our carbon footprint is our electricity. Eskom electricity is mostly coal-fired and so has a steep environmental impact. Sustainable Energy Certificates (SECs) enable you to buy your electricity at a slight premium from a green supplier, without in any way having to change your lifestyle. These certificates verify the origin of the source of energy as a renewable source. One SEC is the equivalent of 1000kWh of electricity consumed and your equivalent electricity consumption can be converted directly into SECs so that you can buy green energy from a green energy generator without having to be connected directly to the energy source.
