Episode 6 - The ABCs of CFE: Modern Corporate Renewable Energy Procurement Strategies

Plugged In: A Guidehouse Insights Podcast

Hello and welcome to the sixth episode of the Guidehouse Insights Plugged In Podcast! On this episode we do a deep dive on energy industry topics from sustainable aviation fuels to building efficiency.

This month we spoke with Hannah Bastian, a Research Analyst on the Guidehouse Insights team about her report, “Corporate Renewable Procurement Strategies.” Hannah contributes to Guidehouse Insights’ Building Automation and Control and Building Efficiency and Decarbonization services. Her research focuses on global market analysis and forecasts for energy efficiency building technologies, building energy management systems, intelligent buildings, and building-to-grid integration. She also worked as a program assistant at the National Center for Sustainable Transportation and an intern at the Energy Efficiency Center at the University of California, Davis. She has a BS in Environmental and Resource Economics from the UC Davis.

In this episode we talk EACs, green tariffs, PPAs, and even more acronyms all to find out what corporate renewable procurement is. Once we figure it out, we find out where it's happening, who is doing it, what's supporting this change, and what's holding it back. If you ever wondered what it means when a company has a commercial claiming they use 100% renewable energy, this is the episode for you.
