Webinar Overview
Electricity markets are entering a period of structural change. Rapid demand growth driven by electrification and wider economic trends, combined with ongoing price volatility and geopolitical pressures is reshaping how organisations source energy.
At the same time, evolving guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and the Science Based Targets initiative is set to increase scrutiny on Scope 2 emissions and corporate energy claims.
Together, these forces are accelerating a shift in corporate energy sourcing, from a compliance-driven activity to a strategic priority focused on cost stability, resilience and long-term value.
Business Green's latest Sustainable, Talks event will bring together industry experts to explore how organisations can respond to these changes, adapt their sourcing strategies and position themselves for the next phase of the energy transition.
The discussion will cover:
- Why electricity demand is rising and how tightening supply is driving price volatility
- How energy resilience is reshaping procurement priorities and accelerating the role of renewables
- What evolving Scope 2 guidance means in practice, and how increased scrutiny will impact energy sourcing decisions
- Why PPAs are becoming a core sourcing tool, including how to unlock opportunities in less mature European markets
- How companies are joining forces through multi-buyer PPAs to source renewables in-country, at scale and cost-effectively
- How organisations can navigate uncertainty and develop robust, future-proof sourcing strategies
Join BusinessGreen to understand how leading organisations are moving beyond compliance and turning energy sourcing into a source of resilience and competitive advantage.
