Renewable revolution
We’re creating a sustainable, flexible, low carbon future grid
Accelerating and smoothing the clean-energy grid transition
We’re leveraging emerging technologies to adapt to both the changing global climate, and the increase of renewable energy in the grid, to keep communities reliably connected. Change is an inside job too - as a business, we’re cleaning up our own carbon footprint.
We’ll reach Net Zero by 2040 and beyond as we continue to accelerate the global transition by taking meaningful climate action across our value chain. This what we’re doing to get there:
- enabling energy prosumers through grid innovation and peer-to-peer trading
- installing community batteries & stand-alone power systems
- trialling microgrids to generate and distribute energy locally
- implementing a roadmap to decarbonise our business and supply chain
- continue to integrate climate action and resilience into business decision-making.
Supporting targets
- 40% emissions reduction by 2030*
- Zero emissions fleet by 2040**
- 1.6% Achieve an average solar customer curtailment below 1.6% by 2035, compared to 8.8% in a ‘do nothing’ scenario’ without interventions, enabling customers and communities to enjoy more of their local solar energy***
* excluding network losses
** only includes electric vehicles and zero emission alternative fuels.
*** curtailment of electricity is when power use is reduced or limited to prevent overloading the grid or avoiding blackouts.
Helping our customers and communities access new energy solutions
We are actively investing in initiatives and teaming up with others to enable our customers to use energy more efficiently and sustainably.
This also provides customers with more choice and control of their energy usage.
This includes the roll out of community batteries, EV charging trials, enhanced metering infrastructure and advanced analytics.
Using our industry influence to promote innovation and scale climate solutions
To solve one of the greatest challenges of our time, climate change, we believe we need to power together.
We’re working with EnergyLab and climate tech innovators to explore and help scale solutions that will help decarbonise the grid. Since 2020, we have connected with more than 40 start-ups from around the world to explore smart, clean-energy solutions.
By partnering with the EnergyLab program, startups have the chance to unlock their next wave of commercial opportunities whilst helping industry partners explore emerging technology to decarbonise the grid.
