[Energy Procurement](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/services/commercial-energy-procurement/) # Green Energy Contracts ## To meet Scope 2 sustainability targets, renewable energy contracts are becoming a core part of energy procurement. However, not all “green energy” contracts are the same. Businesses must balance transparency of sourcing, cost stability and long-term procurement strategy. ![nu-20--20renewable-20supply-20brochure-202026](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/nu-20--20renewable-20supply-20brochure-202026.webp) ### Download the overview See how we support renewable energy and decarbonisation strategies from initial planning through to long-term delivery. ![nu-20--20renewable-20supply-20brochure-202026](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/nu-20--20renewable-20supply-20brochure-202026.webp) [Download](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/2026%20brochures/NU%20-%20Renewable%20Supply%20Brochure%202026.pdf) ## **Choosing the Right Renewable Energy Strategy**   Renewable energy contracts (often referred to as green energy contracts) allow businesses to source electricity generated from renewable sources such as: wind, solar and hydro. In most cases, electricity supplied through the grid is a mix of sources, but suppliers match your consumption with renewable generation using certification schemes such as Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs).   These certificates provide verified evidence that your electricity consumption is matched with renewable generation.   ## Why Renewable Energy Matters for Businesses   ### Carbon Reduction & Net Zero Switching to renewable energy is one of the most effective ways to reduce Scope 2 emissions and support net zero strategies.   ### Cost Stability Renewable energy contracts, particularly fixed or structured agreements, can help reduce exposure to volatile wholesale energy markets.   ### ESG & Reporting Green energy contracts support compliance with:   - SECR reporting - corporate ESG commitments - sustainability disclosures   ### Brand & Stakeholder Value Adopting renewable energy demonstrates environmental leadership and strengthens relationships with customers, investors and stakeholders.   ## Types of Renewable Energy Contracts: There are several approaches to procuring renewable energy, each with different levels of complexity and control. ‹ › ### Renewable Tariffs (REGO-Backed) The most common approach is a renewable tariff backed by REGO certificates.   - Simple to implement - No infrastructure required - Suitable for most businesses ### Carbon Neutral Contracts These combine standard energy supply with carbon offsetting to reduce overall emissions.   - Lower cost entry point - Supports carbon reduction targets - May not be fully renewable ### Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) Long-term agreements directly with renewable generators.   - Greater transparency and additionality - Long-term price stability - Typically suited to larger energy users ### Blended Procurement Strategies Many organisations combine renewable contracts with flexible procurement strategies to balance:   - Cost - Risk - Sustainability Objectives ## How Nationwide Utilities supports your Net-Zero strategy. These certificates provide verified evidence that your electricity consumption is matched with renewable generation. By combining procurement expertise, market intelligence and sustainability planning, organisations can reduce emissions while maintaining control over energy costs. ![](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/n%20(13).png) ### Step 1: Independent Procurement Advice We provide unbiased guidance across renewable energy options and suppliers. ### Step 2: Market Intelligence Our insights into energy markets help identify the right time to secure contracts. ### Step 3: Supplier Engagement & Negotiation We manage supplier interactions to secure competitive and transparent contract terms. ### Step 4: Strategy Development Procurement strategies are tailored to your organisation’s operational needs and sustainability goals. ### Step 5: Ongoing Contract Management We provide continued support to ensure contracts remain aligned with market conditions and business requirements. ### Step 6: Carbon & Compliance Alignment How Nationwide Utilities supports your Net-Zero strategy. ## Related services ### [![Power Purchase Agreements](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/hubfs/jason-mavrommatis-dxbtedwoug8-unsplash.webp) Power Purchase Agreements](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/services/renewable-supply-and-carbon-reduction/power-purchase-agreements) Power Purchase Agreements - Secure Fixed Prices Direct from Renewable Energy Sources.

A green energy contract is an energy supply agreement where electricity is sourced from renewable generation or matched with renewable energy certificates such as REGOs. ###### What are REGOs? Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) are certificates that verify electricity has been generated from renewable sources and supplied into the grid. ###### Can businesses use 100% renewable electricity? Yes, businesses can contract electricity that is fully matched to renewable generation through certified supply agreements. ###### What is the difference between renewable and carbon neutral energy? Renewable energy comes directly from renewable sources, while carbon neutral energy may include offsets to compensate for emissions rather than eliminating them entirely. ###### Do I need smart meters for bill validation? Smart meters improve data accuracy, but validation can still be carried out using existing metering and consumption data. ###### Do you support half hourly and non half hourly meters? Yes. We support HH and NHH sites, including read validation and consumption tracking. ## Nationwide Utilities Limited 346 Kensington High Street London W14 8NS United Kingdom - [020 3475 2000](tel:02034752000) - [enquiry@nationwideutilities.com](mailto:enquiry@nationwideutilities.com)  ## Quick Links - [About Us](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/about-us) - [Contact Us](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/contact-us/) - [Testimonials](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/testimonials/) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/privacy-policy/) - [Terms of Service](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/terms-of-service) - [FAQ](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/faq/) - [Partners](https://www.nationwideutilities.com/partners/) -
