Transforming Our Future: Working Together To Green The Grid - Toward A Solution

Working toward a solution: a look at 24/7 carbon-free energy

One important step toward sustainability is a commitment to working toward 24/7 carbon-free energy. 24/7 carbon-free energy (CFE) means that every kilowatt-hour of electricity consumption is met with carbon-free electricity sources, every hour of every day, everywhere. The 24/7 sustainability pledge is driven by the corporate sector with the goal of sourcing renewable energy in the same grid where it is consumed. This approach emphasizes the localization of energy production and the deliverability of renewable energy to the specific zones or grids where it is consumed, something like a "farm-to-table" concept for renewable energy.

Working together: how does the supply chain factor into sustainability efforts?

The process of purchasing renewable power involves a complex ecosystem of providers that collaborate to identify, fund, develop, build, generate, and deliver the power to buyers. Renewable project owners and developers are stepping up their efforts to meet the growing demand, while utilities play a pivotal role in bridging the gap between renewable generation and consumers, helping us all achieve our carbon reduction goals.
