Lots of things are shaking up the traditional power model. A decade ago gas and coal power plants were very profitable. Retail companies, which distribute to industrial and household consumers, bought wholesale electricity at a price that always covered operating costs and increased during peak demand. Even fairly inefficient power plants could expect to have enough profitable operating hours per year to make it worthwhile sustaining operations.

"What we need is "small energy". The Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) is an important step in the right direction. It allows for private producers to bid for grid-connected renewable energy tenders. Several projects have been awarded and more are lining up, yet the initiative will fall short of its potential while it sets a cap on bidding opportunities and centralises control. What we desperately need is an innovative system of production and consumption of energy that happens at the local level and allows everyone, not just recognised bidders, to produce, consume and share electricity. In many European countries, a feed-in system has given households and businesses an economic incentive to produce energy, to meet their own needs and/or sell to the national provider."

Nearly two-thirds of Fortune 100 and nearly half of Fortune 500 companies have commitments to shift to renewables. Now these companies are seeking the best way to source renewable energy and have the potential to significantly grow the renewable energy market. Corporations can be a powerful lever for expanding renewable energy in the United States and beyond. They can lock in long-term affordable prices for clean energy that supports the bottom line, reduce their carbon footprint, and fulfill their corporate sustainability commitments.
