Over the last seven years, Ren Energy has worked to build a comprehensive enterprise climate platform that has enabled leading companies to plan and procure renewable energy for their supply chains in the most complex markets. We have worked with companies like Nike, Target, Google, and Primark helping them drive meaningful decarbonization results to meet their ambitious climate targets. Ren Energy’s tech-enabled consulting services designed for renewables planning and procurement at scale can also be leveraged across the corporate value chain—for scope 2 emissions


Renewables Contract Tracking

Ren Energy has expanded to serve the world’s most climate-conscious companies with renewables contract tracking. We upload all renewables contracts (PPAs, VPPAs, EACs, etc.) to Ren and overlay current and projected energy demands to give you a 360° view of your global renewable energy contracts and associated coverage—in one place.

  • Monitor existing scope 2 energy contracts in one place to gain comprehensive visibility to contract expiration, terms and pricing to ensure you stay on track and claim your impact. 
  • Use the tool to support internal collaboration, gain cross-functional buy-in and form strategic plans of action to help meet your climate goals. 
  • Work with Ren Energy to transition expiring contracts to new renewables supply in the regions that matter for your business. 

Scope 2 Procurement Planning

For companies with large-scale distributed operations in industries including but not limited to  hospitality, telecommunications and commercial real estate, the Ren platform helps map and manage complex scope 2 energy loads for procurement planning. 

  • Map and visualize your distributed scope 2 data to create a single source of truth to support renewables procurement planning, internal collaboration and energy load management.
  • Analyze and understand hotspots for impact in your global scope 2 energy map. 
  • Work with Ren Energy’s renewables experts to understand renewable energy feasibility and opportunity and create decarbonization strategies to meet your climate targets.

Scope 2 Facility Engagement

Once your distributed scope 2 energy loads are mapped in Ren, Ren Energy helps you develop business cases to gain buy-in across the organization. As needed, we engage with your global owned and operated facilities on your behalf to educate and incentivize them to procure renewable energy. This can be a necessary, yet time-consuming and tedious step for companies whose sustainability staffing is already strained.

  • Work alongside Ren Energy’s technical renewables experts to build customized business cases for renewables procurement for your company.
  • Handoff the heavy-lifting of educating and incentivizing owned and operated facilities to procure renewables to Ren Energy.
  • Connect your facilities to the highest-impact renewable energy projects for your business.

Scope 2 Renewables Procurement + RFP Development

Once we have owned and operated facilities willing to explore an RFP, we bundle regional facilities into higher-impact, aggregated portfolios that we take to RFP for local developers to build larger projects. This novel renewables approach employs economies of scale to fast track impact and drive down costs—ensuring you meet your climate targets on time.

  • Ren Energy guides you through the complex process of renewables RFP development, strategy and assessment of developer bids.
  • Once the developer is selected, we negotiate the renewables contracts on your behalf to ensure you’re locking in the best price.
  • We work in the most complex markets globally to procure renewables, develop RFPs and negotiate with developers to ensure your renewables projects go live.
