Why Grid Impact Matters

Not all renewable energy procurement methods have the same impact on decarbonizing the electrical grid. Some actions directly contribute to adding new clean energy capacity to the grid, while others simply support existing generation assets.

Grid Impact Score evaluates companies based on the real-world effects of their clean energy procurement strategies by placing a greater emphasis on actions with a higher decarbonization impact.
