    Securing finite, authentic, 100% carbon-exempt renewable power for UK business

     

    Backed by the largest aggregated PPA in the world · BloombergNEF, April 2026

    25781-2

    Are you currently buying authentic renewable business energy?

     

    Or is it standard grid power, simply rebadged with certificates?

    And will it stand up to the scrutiny of your stakeholders and supply chain?

    A world-first credibility anchor

    Trident delivers the REA in partnership with Evolve Energy - whose aggregated PPA model is independently recognised by BloombergNEF as the largest-ever multi-buyer PPA in the world.

    Notes

    This deal is the largest-ever aggregated, or multi-buyer, PPA in the world, facilitated by energy supplier Evolve Energy. The Race Bank offshore wind farm was commissioned in 2018. Prior to this deal, around 61MW of capacity was already contracted by three corporate offtakers including Nestle, Northumbrian Water Group and Sysco. The project also earns additional revenues under the UK’s Renewable Obligation Certificates scheme.

    While still niche, Evolve Energy is the 19th company offering clean energy to a group of offtakers in Europe. James Hall, chief operating officer at Evolve Energy, said the model “will play an increasingly important role in enabling wider access to renewable energy”.

    Independent third-party validation - removes buyer scepticism before the first objection.

     

    What we are actually selling

    We acquire and secure renewable energy for your business for five years - with all the benefits of half-hourly matching - through the world's largest aggregated PPA framework.

    Picture1

    Five-year secured supply

    Long-term certainty from generation contracts, not short-term wholesale exposure.

    Picture2

    Half-hourly matching

    The gold standard of authenticity — the same mechanism powering Burger King UK.

    Picture3

    100% carbon-exempt power

    Genuine, not rebadged — up to 500 GWh available to allocate.

    Picture4

    World-largest aggregated PPA

    BloombergNEF-verified credibility, institutional backing.

    Volatility protection

    A diversified generator stack insulates you from gas-driven price shocks.

    Removing market volatility by design

    The REA is a risk-management instrument, not just a sustainability one. By procuring across a diversified stack of named renewable generators, we structurally remove your exposure to volatile wholesale energy markets.

    • A diversified generator stack

      Supply is matched from a portfolio of wind, solar and hydro assets — not a single source, spreading and reducing risk.

    • Decoupled from gas-set prices

      Asset-backed renewable generation breaks the link to gas-driven wholesale price spikes that move the market.

    • Five-year price stability

      Long-term, secured supply delivers budget certainty and protects against sudden market shocks.

    The generator stack:

    • Wind

    • Solar

    • Hydro

    One stable, predictable supply

    Diversification absorbs the volatility of any single market or source.

    Authentic renewables that work harder commercially

     

    Because the REA matches your demand to small-scale, licence-exempt generation, qualifying volumes can sit outside the Government social and policy costs that load every standard electricity bill – delivering potential non-energy charge benefits alongside genuine renewable credentials.

    Policy & social costs that exempt volumes can sit outside

    • Renewables Obligation (RO)
    • Contracts for Difference (CfD)
    • Nuclear Regulated Asset Base (RAB)
    • Feed-in Tariff (FiT)
    • Capacity Market (CM)
    • Climate Change Levy (CCL)
    Reliefs available vary by site, volume and generation matching. Your specialist will model the eligible benefit for your business.

    A commercial edge, not just a green one

    • Two-thirds of the potential relief comes from RO, FiT and CCL – already accessible today.
    • Further reliefs unlock as your demand is matched to qualifying generation half-hourly.
    • The benefit is shared across the facilitating parties – improving the overall commercial picture.

    Four pillars of premium value

    The REA is not a commodity. It is a premium, finite, strategically scarce asset - sold on value, not price.

    Picture7

    Authenticity

    Asset-specific, traceable, half-hourly matched generation from named UK wind, solar and hydro - not grid power rebadged with certificates. 

    Picture8

    Scarcity

    Renewable capacity is finite. We can source up to 500 GWh — and once allocated, it is gone. There is no on-demand renewable tap.

    Picture9

    Certainty

    Five-year secured supply with half-hourly matching, structural insulation from volatility, and forward budget visibility.

    Picture10

    Credibility

    World-largest aggregated PPA, trusted by Burger King UK, Hovis, KFC, Sports Direct, United Utilities & BNP Paribas via Evolve.

    Six reasons the REA stands apart

    Credible, fully traceable renewable electricity - without the cost or complexity of a Power Purchase Agreement.

    1

    Granularly matched

    Consumption matched to renewable generation every half hour — confidence that generation directly offsets your usage.

    2

    Named renewable assets

    Clear visibility of where your electricity is generated, with asset-level transparency.

    3

    No PPA legal complexity

    Avoid the legal fees, long-term commitments and structural barriers of direct PPAs.

    4

    SBTi-aligned procurement

    Designed to align with proposed Science Based Targets standards expected from 2027.

    5

    Commercially efficient

    Potential non-energy charge benefits where supply is matched from small-scale generation.

    6

    Long-term ESG credibility

    Strengthens sustainability reporting and supports long-term decarbonisation goals.

    Renewable energy is finite - secure it now

    Authentic renewable power is a finite, contested resource. Businesses that wait until a tier-1 customer demands it will find it is not available at the drop of a hat.

    • Demand for authentic renewable power has never been higher — shovel-ready projects are scarce, creating competitive bidding.

    • Meta, Amazon, Google & Microsoft alone took 49% of global corporate PPA activity in 2025.

    • PPA prices climbed ~9% in a single year as corporates raced to secure capacity.

    • Standards are tightening toward firm, time-matched (half-hourly) supply — REGOs no longer satisfy scrutiny.

     

    500 GWh

    A defined, finite pool. Every allocation reduces what remains. First movers secure the best assets and terms.

    What the world's biggest companies know

    The most sophisticated companies on earth treat renewable sourcing as hard, strategic and urgent — and act years in advance to lock it in.
