WMB: RE100

RE100 is the global corporate renewable energy initiative bringing together hundreds of large and ambitious businesses committed to 100% renewable electricity.

Through policy work, the initiative supports corporates to meet their commitments to procure 100% renewable electricity. The members are the backbone of the initiatives policy advocacy work, they send a clear corporate demand signal to governments. By unlocking corporate renewable electricity sourcing, RE100 is accelerating the transition to zero carbon electricity grids.

RE100 advocates for change with their partners and members in priority geographies – markets with little or no access to renewables. The initiative advocates for change in line with its six global policy messages. Policy decisions and market design are often cited by its members as reasons why renewables are hard to procure and not as cost effective as fossil fuels in certain countries.
