Challenge
A commercial property manager with over 300 retail units — consuming around 256 GWh of energy annually — faced a fragmented energy setup: multiple suppliers, contracts, rates, and account structures across their portfolio.
On top of this operational complexity, the company was concerned that traditional REGO certificates weren’t providing genuine proof of renewable energy use. They needed verifiable, real-time data they could trust.
Outcome of Partnership
Streamlined, flexible procurement — One consolidated contract with no penalties for usage changes, simplifying operations and improving cost control.
Trusted environmental reporting — Clear, verifiable data that goes beyond REGO certificates, giving the business confidence in its sustainability reporting and compliance.
Results
-
80% of hourly energy supply matched with renewable sources, supported by granular half-hourly reporting.
-
43% CO2 saved compared with equivalent grid supply.
