Renewable Energy

Shaped by unique internal and external factors, every company's experience of procuring renewables is different. Whether you are just starting or already on your way to corporate leadership, embarking on the Renewable Energy Journey with South Pole enables your company to harness opportunities that will unlock cost-savings potential and develop a competitive advantage over your peers, while supporting the global energy transition.

Your Renewable Energy Journey

To achieve renewable energy (RE) leadership, a typical first step is setting an ambitious target. But while you're defining your RE strategy and planning the best mix of instruments, you can already access quick wins by purchasing energy attribute certificates (EACs). Once your strategy is defined, you can implement solutions at a national level and communicate the results.

Target Setting

Set ambitious yet realistic sustainability goals such as a Science Based Target (SBT), 100% Renewable Energy (RE100), or climate neutrality.

100% Renewable Energy Today

Purchase EACs to immediately achieve your climate/RE targets.

Renewable Energy Strategy

Define a vision and strategy to increase your impact, price hedge and cost savings over time with a mix of the best suited RE instruments (green tariffs, EACs, EAC plus, power purchase agreements (PPAs) and on-site RE).

Implementation

Implement the most suited RE instruments to achieve your targets and operationalise your strategy.

Communicate and Lead

Engage stakeholders on your sustainability vision, including your supply chain partners, in order to amplify impact and communicate results.

Going renewable: what's in it for you?

Power price hedge and cost reduction

• Reduce risk: power markets can be extremely volatile and companies can insulate themselves against market risk exposure
• Increase affordability: power procurement can be expensive; RE solutions can reduce those costs

Sustainability/additionality claims

• As well as reducing your carbon emissions, RE solutions have environmental and social benefits
• Enhance sustainability ambitions and Corporate Social Responsibility efforts with renewables

Brand and climate leadership

• Consumers and other stakeholders are increasingly demanding climate action
• With RE solutions, you can signal your sustainability leadership among your peers and among leading businesses from other sectors
