Problem
Many businesses lack direct access to renewable energy producers, leading to a lack of transparency in pricing and traceability of energy sources. This makes it difficult for companies to secure sustainable energy solutions and meet their environmental goals effectively.
Solution
Whelma provides a marketplace that enables businesses to directly enter into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with renewable energy producers. This platform ensures fixed pricing and full traceability for each megawatt-hour (MWh) of energy consumed, offering long-term security and transparency. Companies can explore, select, and apply for PPAs tailored to their specific needs, facilitating the purchase of renewable energy without investing in the energy-producing infrastructure. Whelma streamlines the process by providing tools to analyze energy consumption, match with suitable renewable facilities, and calculate potential cost savings.
