Practices & perspective
“. * This is our second year reporting our emissions to the SME Climate Hub. However, we have been calculating and reporting our greenhouse gas emissions since 2008. In 2024, our emissions are slightly higher than reported for 2023 - due largely to a change in calculation methods. We now more accurately capture the extent of our software and cloud services procurement.”

Country grid context · United States · 2024
Wide state-level variation; PJM/MISO higher than CAISO/ERCOT renewables share.
Source: Ember Yearly Electricity Data (CC BY 4.0). For SMEs, the grid carbon intensity is the dominant lever on Scope 2 emissions — switching to a renewable tariff is often the single biggest cut available.
No multi-year history available for this country yet.
Renewable transition options· 64 MWh annual load · 100% renewable today
What it would realistically take to move 0 MWh of remaining electricity to renewable sources, given typical SME options + market-specific costs in this country. Numbers are indicative — a real proposal needs a quote from a local installer or supplier.
Sign with a green-energy supplier (Guarantees of Origin / REGOs backing). No capex; pricing is tied to a small premium over your current standard tariff. Best when paired with on-site reductions to keep total bill manageable.
Install a 46 kW rooftop PV system (sized to match annual consumption). Yields ~64 MWh/year in US — close to total annual use. Net-metering / export tariff supports the payback. Real proposal needs a roof survey + planning check.
Several brokers (e.g. SmartestEnergy, Statkraft, Centrica) now offer aggregator " + "PPAs that pool SMEs to reach the ~5 GWh/year minimum. Typical contract length 5–10 years. Pricing usually below standard tariff; protects against grid-tariff inflation.
Direct PPAs require a buyer to commit to ~5–50 GWh/year over 10+ years. Any SME at <100 MWh annual consumption can't access this market directly. Out of scope for this firm.
Cost ranges are 2025-ish published market data. Premiums + capex move with energy prices and policy. Best approach for most SMEs: certified renewable tariff first (cheap, fast), then on-site solar if roof + capital allow. PPAs need ≥1 GWh/year volume to access directly — aggregators are starting to bridge this for smaller users.
Sector net-zero pathway· professional services
Industry-level decarbonisation context — not this firm's own commitment. Shows how the wider sector needs to evolve for individual SME targets to be achievable.
Professional services Scope 1+2 is small (offices); Scope 3 dominated by purchased services + business travel.
