The 2025 RE100 Technical Criteria v5.0 introduces stricter rules on EAC cancellations for all renewable energy consumption. Soldera automates your market-based scope 2 compliance workflows.
RE100 is a global corporate leadership initiative organised by The Climate Group and CDP that comprises more than 440 influential corporates committed to 100% renewable electricity. Together, members drive climate action in more than 175 markets worldwide.
If RE100 were a country, it would be the world's 10th largest in terms of electricity demand -- consuming over 570 TWh per year, enough to power all of Germany. Members commit to sourcing 100% of their electricity from renewable sources by a specified year to achieve zero carbon grids.
While voluntary, RE100 is a binding commitment designed for the world's most prominent companies. Typically they consume more then 100 TWh per year or are highly influential in their industry.
The roster features massive corporate energy buyers across diverse sectors, including tech giants like Amazon and Microsoft, alongside heavy retail and industrial consumers like IKEA, Unilever, and BMW.
For most companies, EACs are the only scalable solution to meet renewable goals across fragmented global operations, covering every market where you consume electricity.
Provide capital to build new off-site generation or sign long-term agreements for price hedging with a single production site. Still requires seperately tracking related EACs for documentation.
Based on the 2025 RE100 Technical Crieria, having a PPA no longer immediately satisfies requirements. Whether you hold a power purchase agreement with bundled certificates or procure unbundled EACs on the open market, the renewable claim must be evidenced by a valid cancellation statement from the registry in the country where the electricity is consumed.
No cancellation, no compliant claim.
