New Report Release: Expanding Clean Energy Procurement Options in the Asia-Pacific Region-The Role of High-Impact Utility Green Tariffs
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is a powerhouse of global economic activity, accounting for a third of global gross domestic product (GDP) and 50% of global manufacturing production. As corporate demand for clean energy grows rapidly in this region, a diverse menu of high-impact procurement options is needed to help scale clean energy adoption.
The Clean Energy Buyers Association (CEBA) and the Asia Clean Energy Coalition (ACEC) are proud to release a new report:
"Expanding Clean Energy Procurement Options in the Asia-Pacific Region: The Role of High-Impact Utility Green Tariffs."
What’s Inside the Report?
This report examines how utility green tariffs— voluntary programs enabling corporate buyers to access clean energy via specific electricity rates—can be an effective way for utilities and corporates to partner to drive new clean energy capacity in the APAC region. It also shares key design principles for developing high-impact utility green tariffs which utilities and regulators may want to consider.
The Case for Utility Green Tariffs
While demand for clean energy is surging, access remains constrained in many APAC markets due to:
- Limited procurement options, especially in vertically integrated markets.
- Regulatory hurdles and high transaction costs.
Utility green tariffs can address these barriers by providing a pathway for corporates to participate in clean energy markets, reducing complexity and enhancing scalability.
Key Design Principles for High-Impact Utility Green Tariffs
This report looks at several examples of Utility Green Tariffs in the US and APAC regions and highlights 5 key design principles:
- Drive new clean energy projects
- Ensure specified and traceable clean energy resources:
- Provide pricing that is transparent, stable, and cost competitive
- Empower customers to choose high-impact features tailored to individual needs
- Foster meaningful utility-customer and regulator engagement
Who Should Read This Report?
This report is a valuable resource for:
- Corporate clean energy buyers aiming to meet their clean energy targets.
- Utilities and energy providers seeking to innovate their procurement offerings.
- Policymakers and regulators focused on accelerating clean energy transitions.
