There are different ways of getting renewable electricity for your company …
- you could produce it on your own – with a solar power plant, or wind port plant – at your own facility (self-produced – self-consumed)
- you could by a green power tariff from your (choosen) utility, which supplies you with a green power product*
- you could close a PPA (power purchase agreement) *
- or you could by Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)
And of course, it could be a mix of all above, regarding your regional situation, your strategic plans and your short and long term possibilities.
Important is, that you have a clear and valid contract if you by any electricity from the above mentioned and have the EACs truly allocated (redeemed) for you, where appropriated.
* With this solution, an underlying EACs is needed anyway to prove that you have not only bought, but also “received” renewable energy
