Description (excerpt):
The “U.S. Renewable Energy Map: A Guide for Corporate Buyers” (hereafter referred to as the Map) is an interactive map that presents the renewable energy purchasing options offered to large-scale buyers by electric utilities in each state across the United States. The Map is designed for commercial and industrial (C&I) energy buyers seeking information on opportunities to purchase largescale renewable energy from their utility. It also serves as a market indicator for utilities that wish to attract the growing number of customers seeking large-scale renewable energy by providing a platform to communicate which renewable energy products are offered.
The Map provides information on, first, the renewable energy options offered to buyers and, second, which of the six Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers’ Principles (WRI and WWF 2016; hereafter referred to as the Principles) each renewable energy product meets.
This technical note outlines the scope of the Map and the methodology behind its presentation of available renewable energy options.
