Join us and the Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) on October 14 at 11 am ET for our latest webinar: The Role of Corporate Demand in Driving Clean Energy Deployment. REsurety's Robert Keene, Senior Director of Consulting Services, will dive into findings from the latest study by REsurety, Corporate Demand Drives Clean Energy, and explore how corporate buyers are enabling the pace and scale of #cleanenergy deployment needed to power the next era of US growth. The speakers will discuss: 💲 Key findings from analysis of over 250 clean energy projects across the US, revealing how corporate buyers dramatically reduce financial risk and unlock development. ☀️ How long-term virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) underpin project financing, cut the frequency of financial distress up to 90%, and ensure renewable energy is built at scale 📈 The crucial role of energy attribute certificates (EACs) in providing stable revenues and supporting project viability. Don't miss this opportunity to understand how to maximize the impact of voluntary clean energy purchases and effectively communicate that impact both internally and externally.

You've heard of The Life of a Showgirl - but how about The Life of a Meteorologist? 🎤 🌤️ In our latest installment of Meteorology Monday, REsurety's Jennifer Newman shared her thoughts on this week's weather: "The big story in US weather this week is a large cold front that's currently draped from the Midwest through the Southern Plains. This front has left sub-freezing temperatures in its wake, with freeze watches and warnings in parts of North Dakota and Wyoming. In the Northeast, the glistening grass from September rain has recently given way to dry, unseasonably warm weather. The cold front comes through the Northeast on Tuesday night into Wednesday, bringing rain and cooler temperatures. By Thursday, high pressure builds across most of the US, leading to clear, opalite skies and seasonable temperatures."

Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA), the industry association focused on activating energy buyers and partners to advance low-cost, reliable, carbon emissions-free global electricity systems, worked with REsurety to answer the question — “We know clean energy buyers make a difference in getting clean energy projects built. But how important are they, really?” The answer: the contracts that companies -- like tech giants, or hotel chains, or household goods suppliers -- sign to buy power in advance of a clean energy project's development, called virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs), have played a critical role in the buildout of clean energy in the United States. That solar farm near you? You might have a company to thank. Here's a sneak peak at one of the charts we put together and dive into the paper for more insights: https://lnkd.in/ev877b6w

Corporate clean energy buyers are critical to getting clean energy projects built. REsurety has the data to prove it. Proud to support Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) with our analysis. We found that corporate offtake agreements like virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) and renewable energy certificates (RECs) reduce the risk that a clean energy project will default on loan payments by up to 90%. This makes sense: for a developer, these offtake agreements add certainty to the revenue story by locking in an energy price, time horizon, and volume commitment -- which makes it a whole lot easier to justify the business case for a clean energy project to the investor on the other side of the deal.

Honored to be nominated by the Northeast Renewable Energy Coalition as an Innovator of the Year! The future of energy is clean. At REsurety, we believe the industry deserves the best data, analysis, and trading tools so clean energy leaders can focus on getting the work done. This mission drives our product development, customer engagement, and culture. It’s enough to get us up and working everyday, but it’s pretty cool when others acknowledge the importance of what we’re doing, too. Thank you and congratulations to the other nominees!

vPPAs, PPAs, RECs, unbundled RECs… what terms did we miss?? If it feels like you're drinking alphabet soup trying to make sense of the clean energy finance world, you’re not alone. But understanding these terms, how they drive energy purchasing decisions and Scope 2 accounting, and what that means for clean energy project development will be critical over the next few months: these terms may change the world's path towards a clean energy future. In this recent Volts podcast, Michael Leggett of Ever.green and Peggy Kellen of Center for Resource Solutions break down these financial instruments and what's at stake as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol International Standard Board debates how to change the disclosure standards that have governed the way corporates purchase energy for the last decade. 🎧 If you're like us and do your podcast listening while commuting, here's a quick summary of what to expect: 💡 First 20 mins: Background, overview of REC market size (300,000+ companies buy RECs!), what it means to purchase RECs 💡 Next 10 mins: How this market has evolved (what the accounting standards say today), the big critiques of the current system 💡 Next 20 mins: What is being proposed to change the current system: Pros & Cons of mandatory 24/7 load matching (purchasing clean electricity RECs to offset energy use in a given grid region at the same time the energy was used) 💡 Next 15 mins: Alternative proposals -- especially consequential impact which advocates for more transparency around emissions reduction of the REC (carbon in = carbon out) 💡 Last 10 mins: Where we go from here: Is the answer programs on top of these GHGP standards whose focus would be to better measure and manage RECs globally, or one system to rule them all, more advocacy, more frequent revisions to the standards, or something else? https://lnkd.in/gGMRZbVr

𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐄𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐲. ☀️ For our customers: This is the time of year when our noses are glued to our screens, managing our clients' PPA contracts and auditing for savings. It's when we roll up our figurative sleeves and inspect solar farms or wind turbines for performance. 🏆 For folks at REsurety: It's also when we smack talk our team members, challenging our rivals across the office in the fabled ERCOT Triathlon, where we guess the Generation-Weighted Monthly Average Price, Monthly Average ATC, and Highest Daily Average Price for August. We're about to release results internally this week. Who will be crowned the 2025 REsurety ERCOT Triathlon winner? We spoke to a few of REsurety's own heavy-weights, Steven J. Nixon and Irina Gumennik. Here's what they had to say: Steven: "Of course my prediction was bullish, because why not? It's more exciting. The expectation is fireworks and high prices due to hot weather, with forecasts predicting record peak electricity use. But ERCOT's August of 2024 and 2025 seemed to lack the volatility and fully inflated prices. It's like watching Super Bowl 53 all over again with an anticipation of a high scoring game between the Rams and the Patriots, both with top-4-graded offenses, only to end up with a scoreboard of 13-3 (super low-scoring game for those who aren't fans of American football)... It just didn't quench my thirst, but hey, there's always next year." 🏈 Irina: "I trust the fundamentals. I was here for the fireworks in 2019 and 2023. ERCOT has changed. I'm a numbers geek - I don't gamble." 🔥 The pressure is ON. If you want to learn more about the accuracy of REsurety's pricing forecasts, check out our newly-released blog: https://lnkd.in/ei4xMxMp

📣 You've heard from the REsurety team, but don't just take it from us: CleanTrade is changing the game. Take a look at what others had to say ⬇️ 📈 "Clean energy markets are catching up with the tools they need to scale" -- Thank you for the shoutout, Environment+Energy Leader! https://lnkd.in/exCnmQdN ☀️ "Historically, clean energy transactions have been supported by brokers and information service providers. But that process was opaque and illiquid, and transacting was cumbersome. As the industry has scaled and matured, its needs have outgrown those services. As an approved Swap Execution Facility (SEF), CleanTrade is a marketplace and platform where organizations can fully transact." -- Right on, Solar Power World! https://lnkd.in/esGSKCf6 Want to learn more?
