SSE Airtricity is trialling hourly energy reporting with PPA customers in Ireland and the UK, using Granular Energy’s platform to provide visibility into hourly carbon-free energy matching. This initiative moves beyond annual metrics to show exactly when customers are matching each megawatt-hour of electricity consumption with a carbon-free source in the same region.
Key takeaways:
- SSE Airtricity has launched a pilot with several PPA customers in Ireland and the UK to explore 24/7 carbon-free energy reporting, providing hour-by-hour visibility into how energy consumption aligns with carbon-free generation.
- The pilot with Granular Energy and Grexel, Ireland’s GO registry provider, successfully demonstrated that hourly and monthly Guarantees of Origin (GOs) can coexist within the same system.
- These pilots reflect a shift in how energy suppliers support evolving climate strategies, offering more tailored, transparent, and flexible clean energy products for sustainability-focused customers.
Next steps:
Continue the trial with participating PPA customers to gather insights and validate the 24/7 matching approach.
