Market Movers: Navigating Policy, Standards, and Innovation for Corporate Renewable Energy Buyers

Corporate renewable energy buyers are navigating a rapidly changing landscape shaped by evolving standards and bold new policy moves. In 2025–2027, the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard v2.0, anticipated GHG Protocol Scope 2 revisions, and the potential policy shockwaves from the Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” are reshaping the rules of the game. This dynamic panel will explore how these changes impact renewable energy procurement strategies, REC and AREC markets, and the ability of organizations—large and small—to meet ambitious decarbonization targets.

Attendees will move beyond theory to actionable insights, including new models for additionality, locationality, supplier engagement, and risk mitigation. The session will bring together perspectives from across the value chain—developers, buyers, market makers, and solution innovators—to provide practical frameworks for navigating new rules, mitigating risk, and accelerating grid decarbonization, even in a volatile policy environment.
