The trend toward corporate leadership in clean-energy procurement is expanding rapidly with dozens of multinationals reaching near 100% clean-energy procurement for their operational needs. In 2015, for the first time ever, corporate procurement of wind energy was led by corporations making direct purchases (through PPAs) rather than via contracts with utilities. Earlier this year, a number of leading NGOs launched the Renewable Energy Buyers Alliance (REBA) to bring together the various initiatives supporting companies that are on a pathway to powering their operations with clean energy. And corporate procurement, of distributed and community-scale projects, is playing a significant role as well. 

Listen into this interactive discussion on July 20, 2016 about the latest trends and best practices as corporates play an increasingly important role as purchasers of utility-scale, community-based, and distributed (on-site) clean-energy generated electricity.
