Whois & Analysis for octopus.energy

Renewable energy is energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.

Renewable energy often provides energy in four important areas: electricity generation, air and water heating/cooling, transportation, and rural (off-grid) energy services.

Electricity pricing (sometimes referred to as electricity tariff or the price of electricity) varies widely from country to country and may vary significantly from locality to locality within a particular country.

There are many reasons that account for these differences in price.

The price of power generation depends largely on the type and market price of the fuel used, government subsidies, government and industry regulation and local weather patterns.

Packet switching is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data into suitably sized blocks, called packets, which are transmitted via a medium that may be shared by multiple simultaneous communication sessions.

Packet switching increases network efficiency and robustness, and enables technological convergence of many applications operating on the same network.

Genesis Energy Limited, formerly Genesis Power Limited, is a New Zealand publicly listed electricity generation and electricity, natural gas and LPG retailing company.

It was formed as part of the 1998–99 reform of the New Zealand electricity sector, taking its generation capacity from the breakup of the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand (ECNZ) and taking retail customers from three local power boards in the Lower North Island.

Solar power is the conversion of energy from sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power.

Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam.

Photovoltaic cells convert light into an electric current using the photovoltaic effect.
