MORE Victorians are going green as the impact of climate change continues to bite. The number of households opting for green energy has doubled in the past 12 months, according to Climate Change Minister Gavin Jennings. The rest of the nation ought to be going green with envy," he said. "Almost half of the nation's residential GreenPower users are in Victoria." Mr Jennings said Victorians were leading the charge for green power. More than 228,000 of the nation's almost 566,000 green energy customers were in Victoria, according to a Green Power Accreditation Program report. The State Government has set a renewable energy target of 10 per cent by 2016.
