Eon's Npower Business Solutions (NBS) and RWE Supply & Trading have inked a significant partnership agreement. The collaboration paves the way for NBS to offer renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) to its corporate clientele, heralding a new era of sustainable energy sourcing.
Under this cooperative endeavor, RWE, a prominent player in the renewable energy arena, gains an additional avenue to bring its renewable generation into the market. Simultaneously, NBS's corporate customers gain access to power sourced from one of the United Kingdom's most expansive and rapidly growing renewable energy generation portfolios.
Ben Whitelam, Director of Commercial at NBS, emphasized the growing importance of transitioning to renewable energy sources, stating, “Moving to a renewable energy supply is one of the key ways that our customers can meet their sustainability targets.” He further noted that customer preferences are increasingly shifting toward sourcing power from zero-carbon sources. This shift in sentiment is substantiated by NBS's recent Business Energy Tracker, which revealed that 32% of businesses are planning to embrace PPAs this year as part of their broader decarbonization strategies.
The partnership with RWE offers NBS customers access to a well-established portfolio of renewable energy generation in the UK. This strategic move aligns with the burgeoning business demand for green energy supply, reflecting a broader industry trend towards sustainable energy solutions.
RWE's impressive renewables portfolio encompasses a diverse range of energy sources, including onshore and offshore wind, hydropower, and biomass. The company boasts a substantial installed capacity of 2.6 gigawatts (GW) as its share in renewable assets. Additionally, RWE has a robust pipeline of projects in various stages of development, further solidifying its position as a major player in the UK's renewable energy landscape.
As the global drive for sustainability gains momentum, partnerships like the one between RWE and Npower Business Solutions serve as a testament to the evolving energy landscape. This collaboration not only supports corporate clients in achieving their sustainability objectives but also contributes to the continued growth of renewable energy generation in the United Kingdom.
