Business energy supplier, npower Business Solutions (nBS), has partnered with software provider, Granular Energy, to provide its business customers with renewable energy matching, enabling a new level of transparency on how and where their power is sourced.
This collaboration marks a key milestone in nBS’s long-term commitment to renewable energy and digital innovation, setting the foundation for a range of future services designed to help businesses take greater control of their energy use and decarbonisation efforts.
The new service is designed to provide businesses with detailed information on the source and time of their renewable energy generation, which supports accurate Scope 2 emissions reporting.
Businesses will receive an annual report, which includes a breakdown showing how much consumption is matched by each asset type, as well as information about carbon impact, based on the difference between location-based emissions of the local grid and the market-based emissions that come from energy purchasing choices.
It will also include specific detail on the certificates that have been allocated, the production devices that are matched to a business’s consumption, as well as charts outlining how consumption is matched with production for each fuel mix disclosure period.
Ben Whitelam, Director of Commercial at nBS, said, “Businesses increasingly want to buy their power from renewable sources to both reduce their emissions and improve their security of supply. That said, it is also important that there is complete transparency and traceability around how and where this power is sourced, so organisations can confidently shout about their renewable credentials.
“We are committed to supporting businesses to accurately report their Scope 2 emissions, and customers on our UK Renewable Pure and UK Renewable Pure Plus products already know that their power will be matched from energy generated from wind, solar or hydro assets.
“This partnership with Granular Energy provides another layer of detail, giving organisations clarity on the source of their energy. It also greatly reduces the level of manual reporting required for Scope 2 emissions, as well as providing increased accuracy.”
Eleonore Lazat, Commercial Director at Granular Energy said, “npower Business Solutions is taking an important step towards more traceability in green electricity supply. By delivering new and more transparent reporting to their business customers, they empower businesses to make informed choices on their energy sourcing, aligned with their values and decarbonisation intentions.
“We are glad to be working with an industry leader like nBS. Building on this collaboration, we look forward to driving positive change in the supply sector, and pave the way to a carbon-free grid.”
