Start-Up Renewable CEO Juan Pablo Cerda Discusses Key Steps for Implementing 24-7 Hourly Matching in Corporate Sector Energy Certificates

Juan Pablo Cerda, the CEO and co-founder of Renewable, presents a novel approach to solving 24-7 hourly matching in the commercial sector. Unlike policymakers or engineers, Juan Pablo Cerda leverages his entrepreneurial experience in renewable energy and digital platforms for corporate sectors. His presentation targets three crucial areas: implementation, action, and transaction within the corporate realm. Firstly, Juan Pablo Cerda critiques the current certification system's lack of transparency and efficiency. He highlights issues such as unclear certificate origins, inconsistent legislation enforcement moving from voluntary towards mandatory markets, broken communication between issuing bodies across countries leading to inefficient cross-border certificate transfers. Juan Pablo Cerda proposes shifting from megawatt-hour-based certifications to watt-hour ones under RET3 for better traceability and dynamic pricing systems influenced by real-time supply-demand factors like solar/wind availability. Further suggestions include employing distributed ledgers (e.g., blockchain) for tracing certificates back to specific assets. Secondly is implementation; focusing on consumption pattern analysis via smart meters for accurate data extraction/validation enables precise hourly matching of production-consumption patterns necessary for impactful Scope 3 emissions management within corporates. In conclusion, digitization plays a pivotal role in achieving effective 24-7 hourly matching systems essential for future sustainability goals in commercial sectors.

24/7 renewable power supply is a fairly new concept that ensures that the amount of green electricity companies require is met every hour of the day. 24/7 renewable power supply leads to increased transparency and trust in energy procurement, and it promotes the installation of new renewable power plants. Some world-leading IT companies have already opted for 24/7 green energy matching.

This session will discuss:

  • The concept of 24/7 renewable energy supply and energy matching
  • 24/7 green power demand trends
  • Real-time renewable 24/7 power production and consumption case studies
  • The potential of 24/7 RES matching (executive panel discussion)
