Renewabl Day 2026: Buying clean energy in uncertain times
BloombergNEF recorded the first fall in global corporate clean energy PPA volumes in nearly a decade. Negative pricing is on the rise. SBTi and GHG Protocol rules are evolving on different timelines. Yet corporate energy buyers are expected to make good decisions today.
How do you make clean energy decisions when the market – and the rules around it – are still moving?
