Electricity is a product used daily by billions. And although it supports so much in our lives (like staples such as food and water), few actually realise where it comes from and how power generation impacts lives and the environment.

The reality is that the power sector is still relying on a model developed way back in 1882: Large centralized power plants burning fossil fuels. While other sectors, such as telecoms, have embraced new technology and innovative ways of doing business, the power sector remains mired in 19th Century thinking.

WWF believes that consumers need to participate in mapping out their energy future–either because they are worried about the negative impacts of coal on nature and people or because they want to have a say in the kind of power used in their community or because they feel the urgency of climate change.
