Abstract
Green power refers to electricity supplied from more readily renewable energy sources than traditional electrical power sources. Green power products have become widespread in many electricity markets worldwide and can be derived from renewable energy sources. The environmental advantages of the production and use of green electricity by using green electricity seem to be clear. Using green energy sources like hydro, biomass, geothermal, and wind energy in electricity production reduces CO 2 , SO 2 , and NO x emissions. Market research indicates that there is a large potential market for green energy in Europe in general. Green power marketing has emerged in more than a dozen countries around the world.Keywords
