New tool for reducing carbon footprint

Conrad Energy, one of the UK’s leading energy companies which generates, buys, sells and manages energy, has announced the launch of an exciting new green energy product for businesses. The new product, Match+, will benefit companies looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, and its first customer is a leading farm and producer to the grocery trade.

Driven by a desire to help the environment and recognising the positive perception that it creates amongst customers and suppliers, businesses are increasingly looking to purchase energy that has come from renewable sources.

Conrad Energy says it is seeing this first hand. As a long-term partner with landowners, it helps to maximise returns from land and energy assets. It also supplies and manages energy for businesses, including farms and estates. 

Ultimate in transparency

Customers can now benefit from the Match+ product, which allows businesses to prove they are directly matching 100% of their consumption with renewable energy, in a way that has been difficult to prove up to now, Conrad reckons.

The product offers the “ultimate in transparency” via Conrad Energy’s iON+ Connect platform and is ideal for businesses across the UK who are concerned about the sustainability of their energy usage and their supply chain credentials.

So how does Match+ work? Unlike traditional green energy products which match renewable supply with business demand on an annualised basis, Match+ operates on a half-hourly basis. In other words, your energy usage in any half-hourly period is specifically matched by renewable generation.

The product is available on 12–36-month fixed price contracts and provides the reassurance that you’re not creating an additional carbon burden on the environment, even when your demand is at its peak, Conrad explains.

For one customer in the food production sector, who had initially come to Conrad Energy to secure their green energy supply, discussions about efficiency and optimisation of their existing assets even led to the design of a bespoke multi-solution energy package to meet their specific operational requirements.
