Where are you in your decarbonization Journey?
Your energy strategy and solution mix are uniquely yours, and therefore no two sustainability plans are the same. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re well down the path, incorporating clean energy into an organization can be a nuanced and complex process. NextEra Energy Resources can help you understand where you are, and how to get where you need to go. Our Decarbonization Wizard will guide you to the information you need now to start planning, take action and realize results. To start, simply select the category that best describes your organization’s current decarbonization status.
Just Starting
Your organization recognizes it needs to take action on reducing carbon, but you haven't benchmarked your carbon emissions or set any goals yet.
Along the Journey
Your organization is analyzing its energy data and perhaps have integrated some renewable energy initiatives, but have not set a formal carbon reduction goal yet.
Leading the Way
Your organization has established benchmarks, incorporated renewable energy initiatives and is tracking against formal carbon reduction goals but still has some gaps to fill to reach those goals.
Just Starting
Transitioning to an energy strategy that aims to reduce carbon while still achieving budget objectives and mitigating risk can be a nuanced and complex process. It requires understanding your energy consumption across the entire organization, uncovering opportunities for energy efficiency, and integrating renewables, setting sustainability goals, and monitoring progress.
Along the Journey
With your data organized and benchmarks in place, you are likely putting together sustainability/ESG reports, disclosing energy use and Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions and becoming more proactive in incorporating renewables. There are many avenues to take to offset your carbon footprint, including onsite solar and wind, virtual power purchase agreements and fleet electrification. All carry a spectrum of benefits and risks, so it’s important to develop your carbon reduction goal and understand your organization’s risk appetite and financial requirements.
Leading the Way
Achieving net-zero carbon targets won’t be possible with just one or two renewable energy solutions if you are a large organization. Instead, you’ll likely require a variety of PPAs/VPPAs, energy technologies, resource optimization, fleet electrification and more. Diversifying your energy mix will help mitigate financial and reliability risk, and provide you with price benefits, additionality, specificity and sustainability.
