Meridian’s Certified Renewable Energy product directs funds towards local electrification initiatives via its Community Decarbonisation Fund. Projects already supported include solar panel installations for a free food store, an electric vehicle for an eco-sanctuary, and electric irrigation for native plant growth. Businesses utilizing the product can report zero Scope 2 emissions by matching consumption with verified renewable energy generated by Meridian’s hydro and wind farms. Independent verification from BraveTrace confirms the 100% renewable source of this energy. The program allows companies to contribute to positive environmental and social change throughout Aotearoa. By choosing this option, businesses actively support decarbonisation efforts within their communities. Further details on the program and its impact are available online.
