The Future of Corporate Clean Electricity Procurement

Corporations have accelerated the clean energy transition through voluntary targets to procure clean electricity. Corporate clean electricity buyers, clean electricity generators, researchers, and other stakeholders are increasingly exploring how to maximize the impacts of corporate clean electricity procurement on clean electricity supplies and grid emissions. Ongoing debates about optimal corporate clean electricity procurement strategies could inform reforms to voluntary standards and emissions accounting rules.This Research Topic is a call for research on voluntary corporate clean electricity procurement and other electricity emissions initiatives. The Topic aims to compile research from multiple perspectives to inform ongoing debates about how to optimize voluntary corporate procurement strategies. The Topic will serve as a venue for peer-reviewed research to inform voluntary standard setting and clean electricity accounting rules.The scope of this Topic includes all research related to voluntary corporate clean electricity procurement. Topics of interest include descriptive analysis of corporate clean electricity markets and policies, empirical analysis of the impacts of voluntary procurement strategies on clean electricity development or grid emissions, modeling on the impacts of alternative procurement strategies, research or commentary on existing standards, research or commentary on proposed reforms to standards, and research or perspectives on potential roles for policymakers.
