RE100 technical criteria + appendices
The RE100 technical criteria are the rules that member companies of the RE100 campaign observe when procuring renewable electricity and defining their progress towards their RE100 targets. The technical criteria may also be used by any corporate buyer as a guide for procurement of renewable electricity and making claims to its use.
The RE100 technical criteria exist in the absence of a consistent global framework that:
• Defines which energy resources are renewable;
• Defines requirements for credible claims to use of renewable electricity,
including specific market boundaries;
• Outlines appropriate boundaries for organization-wide targets on renewable
electricity consumption;
• Defines material consumption of electricity in the pursuit of these targets;
• Calls for third-party verification of consumption of renewable electricity; and
• Specifies impact in procurement of renewable electricity.
