DONG Energy has just launched the electricity product ’Basis El med omtanke’ (in English: Basic electricity with care) which has received the coveted class A label from the Danish Ecological Council. This means that the product is among the market’s very best electricity agreements with a climate-friendly profile.
‘Basis El med omtanke’ offers you the opportunity to contribute to a better climate in an easy and transparent way regardless of your electricity consumption. With ‘Basis El med omtanke’ you pay what you normally pay for the electricity. On top of this, there is an additional charge of DKK 20 a month and the whole amount goes to climate improvement initiatives.
More specifically, the monthly extra goes to the project 'Kisumu Improved Cook Stoves' in Kenya. The project creates climate improvements by enabling poor families in Kenya’s rural districts to cook on stoves instead of over an open fire. The stoves are more efficient than the traditional open fires and therefore, they will also use less firewood when cooking. Furthermore, stoves generate less smoke.
Louise Hahn, Vice President of Sales B2C in Customers & Markets, said: "When using a stove instead of an open fireplace, more energy is extracted from the wood and less hazardous smoke is developed in the house. This has a positive impact on the climate and provides a healthier indoor climate.
Recognition from the Danish Ecological Council
The class A label from the Danish Ecological Council is a pat on the back.
Hahn continued: "We wanted to give our customers the greatest possible assurance that their contribution makes a positive difference and contributes to genuine climate improvements. Therefore, we’re pleased that the Danish Ecological Council has given us their seal of approval."
