    Taking out energy for your home
    In order to use energy in your home, you have to take out energy at an official energy company or energy supplier. An energy company or energy supplier is a party that directly takes out energy at the grid operator: energy. By taking out a contract at an energy supplier, this energy supplier make sure that you can use the energy of the grid operator in your region. Depending on how much energy you use, you pay a fixed amount a month to the energy supplier.

    The amount that you pay each month for taking out energy is always in advance. If you have used more energy than you paid for, than you have to pay extra to your energy supplier. If you used less energy and therefore paid too much, you will get money back from the energy supplier. To calculate a montly advance payment for your household, they make an estimate of how much electricity you use.

    Different kinds of energy
    Until a few years ago, there was only one kind of energy. But now you can take out energy contracts for different kinds of energy. In the following paragraphs, we described in short the different kinds of energy that you can choose when taking out a contract.

    Energy fro fossil energy sources
    Energy that is generated by fossil energy sources is also called grey energy. If energy is generated from fossil energy sources, than that is also called fossil fuel. Fossil fuel works well for the generation of gas or electricity. The only con of these kinds of fuel is that they can run out. If you are looking for the fossil fuel natural gas, than you know that we can run out of this fuel by excessive usage.

    One kind of fossil fuel is cheap energy. Cheap energy is energy that you can take out for a lower price, so you have to pay less per month to your energy supplier. Your will cut down on your monthly expenses.

    Energy from renewable sources
    Energy from renewable sources is also called renewable energy or green energy. In contrast with the grey energy that comes from fossil energy sources, sources of renewable energy cannot run out. This is because the sources of this form of energy are renewable and therefore contain sources that can keep generating energy. Taking out renewable energy or green energy is a bit more pricey than taking out grey energy, but in the end it can cause you quite a reduction. Moreover, you invest in the earth, because renewable energy and green energy is simply better for the environment than grey energy.

    Some forms of renewable energy and green energy are solar energy and wind energy. Solar energy is generated by the beams of the sun, while wind energy is generated by using the hard wind in our country.
