Climate Group's 24/7 Carbon-Free Coalition is one of the most ambitious corporate clean energy initiatives in the market today. It brings together business leaders committed to moving beyond annual renewable matching, towards measuring and matching their electricity needs with carbon-free electricity each hour, every day. Granular Energy has been contributing to the Coalition by sitting on the Technical Working Group, helping define the rules and mechanisms to track, procure and claim clean energy procurement within the 24/7 Coalition. Today, we are pleased to announce we are going one step further.

Sitting alongside this corporate buyer community, the Solutions Accelerator brings together solution providers to support the Coalition's corporate members in building their 24/7 CFE ambitions and boost progress on hourly matched, locally sourced, decarbonised electricity. Really we will try to answer this question: how can companies move from ambition to fast action on around‑the‑clock carbon-free power?

Alongside ACT Group, ENGIE, and Suzlon, our aim is to support the Coalition members in knowledge building, and help them develop their 24/7 CFE ambitions. We will host quarterly workshops that bring the supply side together with corporate buyers for peer-to-peer learning on topics ranging from feasibility to affordability to implementation.

We are proud to be part of this initiative as part of Granular Energy's ongoing commitment to advancing 24/7 carbon-free energy globally. The traditional model of 100% annually matched renewable electricity still requires fossil fuel electricity at certain times, because renewables are not available at all hours. It is precisely this gap that 24/7 CFE is designed to address. Hourly matching exposes where clean energy is genuinely scarce, creating the market signals needed to direct investment where it will have the greatest impact.

The work is already under way. We will be participating in the first Solutions Accelerator workshop on 22 May in Singapore, a fitting location given the growing momentum around hourly energy accounting in the APAC region. A second workshop will follow in London during Climate Week later this year.
