Hi Lukas,
You do realise that all electricity is the same, irrespective of how it
is generated? The "greenness" or otherwise is not determined by the
connection, but by the subscription/contract that the consumer has with
their supplier.
UNLESS they have a standalone generating capability, like PV or wind
turbine that is not connected to the grid.
