SOLUTIONS

Built for whoever has to answer for the claim.

The question changes depending on who's asking — a regulator, a customer, an investor, a resident. The underlying data doesn't. Here's how different organisations put CFE Energy's hourly matching to work.

CORPORATE ENERGY BUYERS

Portfolio-wide 24/7 CFE tracking

Sustainability teams typically inherit a mix of PPAs, unbundled certificates, green tariffs and on-site generation across dozens of sites — and a target expressed in an annual percentage that says nothing about which hours are actually covered.

CFE Energy consolidates all of it into one hourly ledger per site, rolls it up into a portfolio view, and flags exactly which sites and hours are dragging the average down, so procurement can prioritise the next PPA or storage investment where it will move the number.

Typical outcome

Before	96% annual REC coverage, unknown hourly match
After	58% verified hourly match, gap concentrated 6pm–11pm
Action enabled	Battery storage RFP sized to the evening gap specifically

UTILITIES & ENERGY SUPPLIERS

Hourly-matched tariffs you can actually stand behind

A growing set of commercial customers want a "24/7 clean power" tariff, not an annual-average green product. Offering one credibly means being able to show, hour by hour, that supply backed each unit sold — which is exactly what our supplier-enabled issuance model is built for.

CFE Energy gives suppliers the matching and reporting layer to launch and operate that kind of product without building certificate infrastructure from scratch.

What suppliers get

Customer-facing hourly match dashboards, white-labelled
Certificate sourcing across your generation and PPA book
Regulatory-ready reporting for hourly product claims

HYPERSCALE & COLOCATION DATA CENTRES

Per-site, per-hour reporting at grid scale

Data centre load is close to flat around the clock, which makes it the hardest kind of demand to match against variable renewable supply — and the reason 24/7 CFE targets started in this sector. CFE Energy handles the scale: continuous ingestion from meters and BMS systems, matched hour by hour, aggregated by facility or by customer for colocation reporting.

At a glance

Load profile	Near-continuous, low variability
Reporting need	Per-facility and per-tenant match rates
Common gap window	Overnight, low-wind periods

GREEN HYDROGEN PRODUCERS

Meeting additionality and hourly matching rules

Regulatory frameworks for renewable hydrogen increasingly require electrolysers to match consumption to new, additional renewable generation on an hourly basis — not an annual certificate total. CFE Energy's temporal and attribute matching (including production-device age filters) is built to evidence exactly that requirement for compliance filings.

What we match on

Hourly temporal matching to electrolyser consumption
Additionality filters (commissioning date thresholds)
Geographic deliverability to the production site

CITIES & GOVERNMENTS

Public reporting on municipal 24/7 clean power

City programmes modelled on initiatives like C40's 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy work are moving public buildings, transit, and utilities toward hourly-verified clean electricity. CFE Energy provides the underlying measurement layer these programmes need to report progress publicly and credibly, aggregated across municipal assets.

Typical assets covered

Municipal buildings and facilities
Public transit charging infrastructure
Municipally-owned generation and storage
