Channel 31's The Union Show profiles GGE

The Union Show highlights a key tool for job creation. The ETU has always championed measures that create jobs. A key policy that is proven to create jobs around the world is the introduction of a gross feed-in tariff. It simply pays renewable generators a premium for all electricity that they produce.  


The Union show talks with Dean Mighell, Ian Levell and Wes Shields regarding the solar industry, Global Green Electricians and energy auditing.

Green Electricians training for ETU members has also recently commenced. To find out more about what the course covers and how the skills taught can be applied – check out this edition of the union show below.
