How do we define a buyer?

Renewable energy buyer: corporate or public sector buyers looking to procure renewable energy for direct electricity consumption on their sites, where their main activity is the production of non-energy goods or services.

Examples (non-exhaustive):

You are a food producer looking to sign a PPA to run your food production unit.
You are a retailer looking to meeting a supplier for rooftop solar for your chain of stores.
You are a steel producer looking for green electricity in order to produce renewable hydrogen on-site to make steel.

"The B2B Matchmaking session was a great experience, which I’d highly recommend to anyone involved in RES sourcing – whether they’re a buyer or a seller. The format makes it very easy to break the ice, meet people, and establish contacts that can lead to RES sourcing possibilities. Overall, the RE-Source event is the perfect platform to facilitate co-operation between buyers and sellers of renewable energy. This is exactly the sort of co-operation we need to promote in order to decarbonize our economy."

Nicholas Bitsios

Head of Brussels Office, Mytilineos

"The B2B matchmaking is an excellent opportunity to (re-)connect with numerous key players in the renewable energy field in no time. A morning well-spent to extend our network, accelerating Borealis’ renewable electricity sourcing towards 100% by 2030"
