Policy decisions and market design are often cited by our members as reasons why renewables are not as cost effective as conventional fossil fuels in certain countries. Through our policy work, we help our members advocate for change at a local level to influence policies that encourage the removal of barriers and enable corporate buyers to source 100% renewable electricity at a reasonable cost.

Working with governments and local partners across the world, RE100 and our members are engaging with local and national governments to accelerate the adoption of renewable electricity solutions.

We work with corporates and other relevant NGOs to understand the local policy environment.

In 2019, RE100 member demand for renewables represented an estimated $98 billion investment. Providing access to renewables, at prices that reflect global norms, is vital for markets seeking to benefit from the growing corporate investment opportunity.

RE100 members look to policymakers to enact policy measures that support corporate sourcing of renewable electricity and creates a competitive market for businesses to buy renewables.
