Individual building projects or small companies increasingly want to purchase off-site renewable energy meeting stringent sustainability requirements, but there are often limited options available, making it challenging for owners to meet their own goals.
In 2023 Transsolar encountered this barrier in a variety of contexts. This paper shares our learnings about the state of the market, especially the lack of market products for high-impact renewable energy products at small or medium scale (0.1 - 5 MW). We briefly describe potential policy and market solutions to filling this void before sharing case studies of owners encountering this barrier.
