Renewable Energy Procurement

Renewable Energy Strategies That Advance Business and Sustainability Goals.

Introduction

Renewable Energy Procurement Goes Beyond Buying Green Power

Organizations face growing expectations from customers, investors, regulators, and employees to reduce emissions, advance sustainability objectives, and demonstrate environmental leadership. Achieving these goals requires more than purchasing renewable energy—it requires a strategy that balances environmental impact, financial performance, operational priorities, and evolving reporting requirements.

With an expanding range of renewable energy procurement options—including renewable retail supply, renewable energy certificates (RECs), community solar, utility-scale power purchase agreements (PPAs), and on-site generation—selecting the right strategy can be complex. Tradition Energy helps organizations objectively evaluate these options and develop customized renewable energy procurement strategies that reduce emissions, manage risk, maximize financial value, and support long-term sustainability objectives.

Renewable Energy Experience in Numbers

Understanding Renewable Energy Procurement

Organizations pursue renewable energy for a variety of reasons, from reducing emissions and meeting sustainability commitments to controlling costs and responding to stakeholder expectations. But renewable energy procurement is not one-size-fits-all. The right strategy depends on an organization’s environmental objectives, financial priorities, operational requirements, and reporting obligations.

Carbon Reduction

Reduce Scope 2 emissions and support sustainability commitments.

Additionality

Support the development of new renewable generation resources and create measurable environmental impact.

Budget Considerations

Balance sustainability objectives with financial performance and long-term value.

Reporting & Disclosure

Support emissions reporting, disclosure requirements, and stakeholder sustainability commitments.

Strategic Alignment

Align renewable procurement with broader energy, financial, operational, and sustainability objectives.

Selecting the Right Renewable Energy Strategy

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

Renewable Energy Certificates provide a flexible, cost-effective way to support renewable generation and address Scope 2 emissions. RECs represent the environmental attributes of renewable electricity and can help organizations advance sustainability goals without changing their physical energy supply.

Community solar programs allow organizations to participate in local solar projects without installing equipment on-site. Participants receive credits on their utility bills while supporting the development of renewable energy within their communities. Community solar can be an attractive option for organizations seeking environmental benefits with minimal operational complexity.

On-site solar generates renewable electricity at your facility, reducing utility purchases while supporting cost savings, resiliency, and long-term sustainability goals. Off-site solar provides access to renewable electricity from remote projects, enabling organizations to meet sustainability goals when on-site installation isn’t practical.

Virtual Power Purchase Agreements are long-term financial agreements that enable organizations to support new renewable energy projects without taking physical delivery of the electricity. VPPAs can help address electricity-related emissions, advance ambitious sustainability goals, and support the development of new renewable generation.
