MID-GRID 2035 Workshop – Corporate Buyers Perspective

Purchasing the Midwest’s Renewable Electricity: A Corporate Buyer Perspective

In tandem, the nature of these goals is evolving to include “additionality” requirements and sophisticated operational approaches to match load to renewable generation output. Participants heard from a number of companies and industry groups at the center to these trends to gain a deeper understanding of what these corporate customers endeavor to accomplish, how utilities are responding to these customers’ needs and the implications for the region’s electricity system.
