Soldera at RE-Source 2026: Renewable Energy Buyers and Suppliers

Soldera joined corporate energy buyers, renewable energy suppliers and industry specialists at the 10th edition of RE-Source, at Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam on 4–5 November 2026. RE-Source connects businesses who source clean electricity with the organisations that can deliver it.

Soldera’s participation

From conversations across the conference to our Innovation Hub session with Mars, we focused on demonstrating how clean energy compliance can be run on autopilot. Many energy buyers want to simplify their procurement processes whilst staying compliant with ever-changing reporting requirements and local rules.

For corporate buyers, Soldera provides clean energy compliance on autopilot, supported by experts. Companies can keep their existing PPAs and suppliers, while Soldera manages the certificate operations around them, reconciling consumption and certificates, identifying gaps, running cancellations and assembling the evidence.

For producers, we automate device management and issuance whilst providing a sales channel for certificates. This way teams can replace registry administration work and have a clear overview of saleable volumes, prices and settlement whilst retaining commercial control of their portfolio.

Exploring value chain renewable electricity with Mars

On 5 November, Ian Knight, Global Sustainability Director at Mars, joined our founder and CEO Stenver Jerkku for the Innovation Hub session “Reducing Supply-chain Scope 3 Emissions with EACs”.

The discussion explored Mars’s Renewables Acceleration (RAcc) programme, the operational challenges of coordinating demand and buying renewable energy for consumption across Mars’ value chain. Soldera provided concrete examples on how to operationalise these complex, multi-country and -beneficiary renewable energy programmes.

The session was timely as companies with substantial electricity use across their value chains are looking for Scope 3 solutions. This interest translated into great questions from the audience during the event. Reporting standards, such as SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard Version 2.0, are also evolving to accommodate the system-level contributions many companies are looking to make to address their full electricity-use impact.

Key takeaways from the Mars and Soldera discussion

1. Supplier engagement alone may not deliver progress on renewable energy targets fast enough. Companies could consider coordinated procurement alongside supplier engagement, rather than making every supplier’s readiness a prerequisite for action.

2. Start with how much electricity is used and where it is consumed. Buying certificates is not a substitute for understanding the footprint being addressed. Identify electricity-use hotspots and the markets where consumption occurs.

3. Scaling procurement requires cross-country execution infrastructure. A factory, its supplier’s electricity use and the renewable generation contract can sit in three different countries. Certificate flows, retirement arrangements and financial flows must align.

4. Traceable evidence matters as much as purchasing volume. Build traceability and an audit trail into the programme from the outset, including proof of retirement and controls against double counting. Assess accounting eligibility separately.

5. Market-based mechanisms are an additional tool while reporting guidance evolves. Mars presents RAcc as a complementary approach to addressing value-chain electricity. Procurement and retirement do not, by themselves, establish how an activity can be recognised under a particular reporting framework.

6. Credible modelling can enable action without waiting for perfect supplier data. Use defensible modelling based on life-cycle assessments and physical activity data, while being transparent about assumptions and limitations.

For Soldera, the operating sequence is to map country rules and certificate criteria to the intended claim, allocate and reconcile certificates against consumption and beneficiaries, identify shortfalls and suitable top-ups, and manage transfers and cancellations through supported routes. The available cancellation evidence can then be brought together in a traceable record for reporting and audit.
