Energy and sustainability consultancy, Longevity Power, has partnered with all-in-one energy platform, Renewabl, to drive uptake of clean renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions in the commercial real estate sector.
With this partnership, Longevity Power’s real estate customers gain access to Renewabl’s advanced energy procurement platform, enabling them to secure real-time matched renewable energy across their entire portfolios with an unprecedented level of accuracy and transparency that is required for sustainability reporting.
Unlike traditional energy procurement methods, 24/7 time-matched renewable energy ensures every megawatt-hour consumed is backed by clean generation at the exact time of use. This means property owners can go beyond annual offsets and demonstrate true decarbonisation, meeting the highest sustainability standards with confidence.
Commercial property owners and managers can use the Renewabl platform to easily procure renewable energy and monitor energy demand across their portfolio. They can also prove that the energy used is renewably sourced through clean energy certificates.
The partnership solves the challenge of aligning renewable energy generation with real-time consumption, whilst offering commercial property firms a data-led solution to their decarbonisation efforts.
Commenting on the partnership, Anthony Maguire, Managing Director at Longevity, says, “Landlords and commercial property owners can no longer afford to treat electricity procurement as an afterthought. The days of relying on bundled green tariffs with questionable environmental credentials are over.
“Real estate owners must embrace credible alternatives, and time-matched energy attribute certificates represent a crucial step forward for the commercial property sector.”
The partnership between Longevity and Renewabl comes at a time when the real estate industry is under growing scrutiny across Europe to demonstrate genuine sustainability results.
According to the UK Green Building Council, real estate contributes 40% of all global emissions. The partnership gives real estate investors the ability to deliver measurable sustainability results in a sector that is currently plagued with misleading green claims.
Anthony continues, “Our work with Renewabl enables property firms to make informed decisions and ensures their renewable energy investments deliver genuine results and contribute in a meaningful way to a sustainable net zero future.
“The combination of Renewabl’s technical capabilities and Longevity’s industry expertise and policy insights means property firms can draw on guaranteed renewable energy that is available around the clock, supported by in-depth sustainability consultancy.”
JP Cerda, co-founder and CEO at Renewabl, adds, “Partnering with Longevity Power enables us to support the commercial property sector in reducing its significant carbon footprint by providing data-driven tools to monitor and cut emissions from the electricity they use. In so doing, they can meet investor expectations and avoid criticisms of greenwashing.
“24/7 renewable energy is a game-changer for commercial real estate managers. Pair this with improved operational efficiency and cost savings, and it’s obvious why property firms should invest in green energy solutions.
“Our partnership with Longevity Power allows real estate investors to take meaningful climate action: help reduce their sector’s carbon footprint: and cut costs and boost their bottom line by using affordable renewable energy.”
