What is the Business Renewables Buying Group?

The Business Renewables Buying Group is designed to bring together a group of like-minded businesses seeking to switch to 100 per cent renewable electricity. With the support of an external facilitator, the group will work collectively to scale up their buying power whilst cutting complexity, time, and cost associated with going 100 per cent renewable.  

The Business Renewable Buying Group is open to businesses across Victoria consuming over 500mWh per annum of electricity (spending ~$100,000 per annum).

Through the Business Renewables Buying Group we are striving to build and refine this model and create a repeatable and scalable group purchasing method to support more businesses to join a renewable future. 

Why join the Business Renewables Buying group?

  • Improved market response for your businesses, with more options and potential price benefits due to increased load.
  • Ability to work with others who are going through similar decisions to compare considerations and support each other. 
  • Reduced project costs and staff time by spreading the workload across the group.
  • The process is led by an experienced facilitator, with access to specialist strategic advice. 

What are the benefits for your business?

  • Cost effective way to reduce emissions and deliver on your strategic goals.
  • Long term and stable pricing provide budget certainty and reduces exposure to energy market volatility.  
  • Avoid repeated internal procurement processes over the duration of the PPA contract.
  • Participation in this project and renewable energy purchase can provide reputation, branding and leadership benefits.  
  • Opportunity to directly support the renewable energy industry.
