Discussion 1 (35’): Renewables and market independence
All Participants, Chair: Adriana Kaulina
Switching to green electricity is the major strategy for telco/digital industry decarbonization. Yet in many regions renewable production is still underdeveloped which creates disadvantageous conditions for companies willing to use green energy. How companies are dealing with this challenge?

Have your company set renewables targets and what is your progress currently?

Which solutions do you prefer for green electricity and why (guarantees of origin (renewable energy certificates), power purchase agreements, own production)?

Does switching to green electricity come with extra cost and what is your company’s motivation to take it today, amidst uncertain economic outlook? Do you experience growing customer demand for green services? In which business areas?
