Driving transparency with hourly matching

REGOs have long played a key role in verifying renewable energy use, but they have important limitations, most notably a lack of time-based visibility. As energy buyers look for more credible, verifiable ways to demonstrate their climate commitments, matching energy use with generation on an hourly basis is becoming the new benchmark.

Real Time REGOs, Ecotricity’s new product, is a real step forward. Business customers can now see how their electricity consumption aligns with renewable generation every hour of the day. This brings a higher level of integrity to green energy reporting and gives organisations better tools to act on their sustainability goals.

A shared vision for a decarbonised grid

Beyond the technology, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to accelerating grid decarbonisation and building a more transparent energy system. With Real Time REGOs, Ecotricity continues its long-standing mission of turning “bills into mills” – investing customer revenue directly into new sources of renewable generation.

Dale Vince, founder of Ecotricity, said:

“For 30 years, Ecotricity has been at the forefront of ensuring our customers know where their energy comes from. So, I’m really pleased with this new innovation – and it’s got one of those Ronseal names.

“Real Time REGOs can tell you where and when your green energy comes from, whether it’s a solar project in Lincolnshire or an offshore wind project in the North Sea. This means our partners and customers can report their green energy credentials with confidence – something increasingly important in a world where greenwashing is on the rise. It’s a great enhancement for all businesses that are serious about greening their operations for real.”
