Read Full ArticleJPMorgan Chase and EDF, Britain’s biggest generator of zero-carbon electricity, have collaborated to help power JPMorgan Chase’s UK offices with 100 per cent renewable electricity in support of its commitment to carbon neutrality in its operations.
EDF will provide JPMorgan Chase with approximately 120,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of renewable electricity each year to power more than 3 million square feet of offices across the UK, which is the equivalent of powering nearly 33,000 households in the UK.
JPMorgan Chase’s electricity consumption will be matched to renewable generation on a 24/7 basis. Matching will take place on a half-hourly basis, through source-specific access to EDF’s 8 terawatt-hours (TWh) of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) portfolio.
This agreement is thought to be a first for UK large business electricity supply, with a real-time view of energy sourcing and associated carbon footprint.
The energy provided to JPMorgan Chase will be monitored utilising ClearTrace’s patented blockchain-based energy-tracking technology to ensure that the electricity consumed is matched digitally, in real-time, to renewable generation. JPMorgan Chase will have an accurate and auditable view of its carbon footprint, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Raghav Singh, Head of Large Business at EDF said: “We are delighted to be working with JPMorgan Chase and supporting them with their sustainability commitments. Thanks to our strength and expertise in renewable PPAs and supply, we have delivered an innovative, tailored solution for JPMorgan Chase. Zero carbon electricity will be essential for British businesses to achieve Net Zero and we are proud to be supporting our customers on their journeys, delivering solutions that meet their diverse requirements.”
Jon Denial, Chief Administrative Officer for JPMorgan Chase in Europe, the Middle East and Africa said: “We are pleased to collaborate with EDF to deploy this leading-edge technology, which gives us around-the-clock visibility into our energy consumption and the corresponding renewable generation across our entire UK portfolio. This construct sets a high bar for responsibility and transparency in renewable energy sourcing.”
