What is load matching and how does it help companies address climate change?

Companies including Amazon, Apple, Iron Mountain, Microsoft, and Google are pioneering this innovative practice with bold goals of going 24/7 carbon-free. But…what does it take for both these companies and the non-tech giants of the world to start decarbonizing their operations? This Energy Minute episode should shed light on the situation!

Load matching helps businesses understand how well their electricity demand is aligned with available clean energy sources on the grid, so they can adjust their procurement strategy as needed to fill in gaps or meet their targets differently. Implementing load matching requires sophisticated tracking software to understand to what degree procured carbon-free energy matches up with each hour of a facility’s consumption.

Tune in to learn more about this emerging trend in sustainability tech—the next frontier for companies sourcing carbon-free energy.
