Renewable Energy Procurement for Large Manufacturing Facility in Mexico

Approach/Challenges

‍Altanova first worked to clearly identify the opportunity based on updated local market conditions allowing for direct connection to renewable electricity supply. By demonstrating a solid business case for the switch, we helped ensure good support from several levels of internal stakeholders, most importantly the local team. After putting out a request for bids, our team carefully analyzed each potential supplier and provided recommendations for selection. Once chosen, our team provided support through the entire contract negotiation process until successful execution.

Results

‍This electricity provider switch provided three major benefits for our client.

-   At the site level: a guaranteed electricity cost reduction for the site over the duration of the new contract.

-   At the corporate level: due to the site’s large electricity consumption, this switch to renewable electricity will make a substantial contribution to the company’s decarbonization objectives and Science Based Targets.

-   At a product/marketing level: this real reduction of emissions linked to manufacturing at this site will help reduce the Product Carbon Footprint of advanced technology products produced here, meeting the environmental expectations of major B2B customers purchasing these products.
