Energy markets continually change. Knowing when to go to market for your energy contract, and what questions to ask is hard. Energy Retailers now offering more types of contracts, renewable PPAs, and participation in wholesale markets or Virtual Power Plants.
Companies also have their own physical power generation, energy storage and battery systems, and energy is a critical input to their cost base. Interacting with the energy markets is more complicated than every before.
Companies are also seeking to purchase global Carbon Offsets and Renewable Energy Certificates that help it meet its carbon or renewable energy targets. This is a whole new market where the rules for carbon accounting are changing.
Certificate types, Certificates standards and prices vary 1000% from one market to another. It can be confusing and difficult to know what the best decision is, and how these purchases can be done. Holding accounts with all the global carbon and RECRenewable Energy Certificate More registries is complicated, expensive, and time-consuming.
If you have a large number of sites, then managing bills, confirming the tariffs for each site, and checking that the charges on these are correctly applied becomes difficult to manage with spreadsheets.

They all have different global warming potentials (GWP) over different time frames, the higher the number, the worse the impact. For simplicity of accounting everything is referenced back to carbon dioxide which has a global warming potential of 1.
