Clean energy charging, help me to understand. I tried to glean the purpose and meaning of this, but I don’t get it ????

The following paragraph from Use Clean Energy Charging on your iPhone - Apple Support gives an overview:
When Clean Energy Charging is enabled and you connect your iPhone to a charger, your iPhone gets a forecast of the carbon emissions in your local energy grid and uses it to charge your iPhone during times of cleaner energy production.
Another statement from Settings > Battery > Battery Health & Charging > Clean Energy Charging:
... iPhone will try to reduce your carbon footprint by selectively charging when lower carbon emission electricity is available. ...
In my own, possibly inaccurate, words, if your local power company has solar power, wind power or hydroelectric power available at certain times of the day, the phone will attempt to give preference to charging during those times of the day.
