24/7 Renewable Energy: the lowdown on hourly energy certificates

Talking New Energy

In this episode, we look at the world of green energy certificates, which is getting more complex. Many companies and individuals on green energy tariffs want reassurance that they use 100% renewable energy, but with the current methods of matching supply and demand over a 12-month period this is not possible. Jon is joined by Toby Ferenczi. Toby is the CEO and co-founder of Granular Energy a company building software solutions for utilities and other stakeholders to access, manage and trade time-stamped energy certificates. Toby also founded EnergyTag, an industry-led, non-profit initiative to define and build a market for time-stamped energy certificates. Prior to his current role Toby was a VP at OVO Energy, a large green energy utility from the UK where he led international expansion. His previous roles include Managing Director at the demand-response company VCharge (acquired by OVO), and co-founder at UK solar company Engensa (acquired by Hanergy).
