Talk to a consultantEnergy sustainability objectives sit at the intersection of regulation, markets and ESG reporting. IPGS ENERGY helps businesses navigate Guarantees of Origin, PPAs, participation in Renewable Energy Communities and the calculation of the energy-related carbon footprint.
The challenge
Making sustainability objectives measurable
The available instruments — GOs, PPAs, RECs, the EU ETS — serve different needs and are not always directly comparable. A framework is needed to connect them to budget objectives, reporting and company positioning.

FAQ
Questions about the service
What are Renewable Energy Communities and who can join?
They are arrangements that let multiple parties — including businesses — share locally produced renewable energy. Feasibility depends on location, consumption and available plant configuration.
Is a PPA suitable for every business?
No. A Power Purchase Agreement requires volumes and a time horizon consistent with the contractual commitment. It should be assessed against consumption, budget and risk appetite.
Do you calculate a company’s carbon footprint?
We support reconstructing the energy-related component of the carbon footprint from consumption and supply sources. A full footprint across all emission sources may require additional expertise and scope.
