Clean Energy Programs
For governments and suppliers
Clean energy programs for governments and suppliers:
Supplying clean energy
Governments and electricity providers that are not active in environmental markets miss opportunities to generate revenue and positive impacts. In both the public and private sectors, the main barrier to participation is lack of understanding.
That’s where SuSca Group comes in. We train governments and utilities to engage in REC markets, and help project developers get the most value from their assets.
SuSca Group helped bring market adoption to the most widely used REC systems in the world—both the APX “TIGRs” instrument and the International REC Standard or “I-RECs”. We work with the largest market operators in the industry, alongside dozens of ministries, utilities, and power producers worldwide.
SuSca Group helps structure and create access to clean energy options endorsed by the RE100, CDP, and the Science-Based Targets initiative. Our work aligns public and private sector interests to deliver economic and environmental targets at scale.
Governments: Ministries, Regulators, and Standard-Setting Entities
Policies, planning, and roadmaps for environmental commodities
Environmental commodities can help governments achieve Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with a decreased need for subsidies. They also improve accountability for renewable portfolio obligations (RPOs) and sectoral decarbonization.
The consequences of not including RECs in energy sector planning include lost revenue, missed opportunities to achieve development goals, and limited foreign direct investment.
SuSca Group has helped governments across Asia to draft and implement REC policies. This includes identifying which REC platforms are best suited for a given national context, explaining how to engage in the market, and structuring partnerships between governments and REC market operators.
Governments turn to SuSca Group to answer difficult questions like: How do we work with the international standards? How can we move from a voluntary to compliance market? How should RECs, carbon credits, and NDCs relate to each other? And, who needs to do what, when, and how?
Utility and Electricity Retailer Programs
Green tariffs and clean power options that buyers love
Utilities and power retailers can use RECs to strengthen their bottom line. Green tariffs and clean power supply options are key tools for growing revenue and improving public perception.
Utilities and retailers without clean power programs face public scrutiny and loose contracts to independent power producers. Early adopters have grown profits and retained market dominance amid increased competition and regulatory change.
SuSca Group has helped utilities and retailers across Asia to strengthen product offerings, become accredited I-RECs and TIGRs issuers, and develop unique models for virtual and direct power purchase agreements. We design green tariffs that meet buyer requirements and help future-proof utilities.
Utilities and retailers come to SuSca Group to understand best practices for selling green power to Fortune 500 companies. We help structure the products, market them to consumers, and provide training on how to manage new offerings. SuSca Group delivers training on how to issue RECs, where to store them, and how to transfer green benefits to end buyers. We’ve also structured partnerships between utilities and REC providers to build global trust in domestic markets.
Developer REC Strategies for Scaling Up Generation Business
Packaging clean power to move from rooftops to supply chain reporting
RECs generate additional revenue for project developers. Perhaps more important, they can help generators increase their client bases and expand to new market segments. However, the full range of business development benefits only reaches a small group of power producers.
Most generators sell their unbundled RECs to traders for modest profit. This short-term strategy forfeits big opportunities—like using “power+” offerings to expand supply contracts from one rooftop to twenty, or from one brand to its supply chain.
SuSca Group has taught dozens of generators to see the bigger picture. We’ve supported rooftop developers to deepen engagement with existing clients, resulting in project expansion from single countries to regional supply contracts. The key is training generators to understand the sustainability needs of their clients—factoring in the unique challenges that supply chains face when aligning daily operations with global reporting frameworks.
SuSca Group takes a wholistic approach to environmental markets. We believe the best way for generators to maximize their REC value is to look beyond unbundled sales. From evaluating client needs to structuring power+ campaigns, SuSca Group delivers clean power solutions that bring generators and end-users closer together.
