At tem. we go beyond your average utility. Allowing businesses to get their energy directly from those sourcing it, saving them money while giving more income to renewable generators. 

With Renewable Energy Direct (RED), our revolutionary energy platform, your businesses can run on renewable energy that is more affordable, traceable, and flexible than anything you’ve experienced before.

Here we will cover some of the many benefits of choosing RED and why it’s the obvious choice if you’re a business looking to pay less for true renewable energy this winter. 

What are the benefits of Renewable Energy Direct?

1) A smarter energy experience

With Renewable Energy Direct, you don't need to change how you shop for or purchase energy. Getting access to fair, affordable and traceable renewable electricity is simple.

After submitting all the usual details, we’ll create a hyper-personalised profile of your business to understand how you use energy and the renewable generators in our network you match with. From there, you’ll receive a personalised quote in your inbox, usually in 24 hours or less.

What’s more, when it comes to payments, all you see is one clean monthly invoice, which you can pay in seconds via our fast, secure payments service. 

Quick quoting, hassle-free payments, and an easy-to-use platform. With RED, you can run your business on true renewable energy but with the frictionless customer experience you’d expect.

2) Save money by cutting out wholesale market fees

Every year, the Big Energy market makes over £300 billion in profit from electricity transactions. That’s more than the total market capitalisation of every fintech company on the planet.

This is because the average electricity transaction passes through more than 7 different hands to get from the generator to the business customer – with each one taking margin at each step. Our research reveals that an overwhelming 97% of business owners are unaware of the numerous intermediary parties driving up the cost of their energy bills.

Until now, almost all businesses had no option but to buy their energy through this complex market, paying 35% more for their electricity than what renewable generators sell it for. But with Renewable Energy Direct, it doesn’t have to be this way. 

Instead of going through the wholesale market, our platform directly sources and uniquely matches your business’s energy with renewable generators in our portfolio.

It finds the best matches and right mix of generators from across our network to power your business, day and night, right down to 30-minute blocks.

This means energy savings of as much as 25% for your business and more money going directly into the pockets of generators too. 

What’s more, we don’t stop matching energy after you join us. Every time a new customer or generator passes into our engine we automatically re-match businesses with the energy available, getting you even better matches, a better energy balance, and mid-contract price improvements.

So if you’re a business looking to bypass Big Energy and Big Energy prices, choosing RED is the way to go.

3) Understand exactly where your energy comes from

If we’re to solve both the energy and climate crisis, then we need to empower businesses with transparent, sustainable energy options.

However, a lack of transparency from providers has left many businesses in the dark about the source of their energy. Our research found that over a third (37%) of business owners don’t actually know where their energy comes from.

That’s where Renewable Energy Direct is different. Every business powered by RED gets access to our insights portal, where you can see exactly where your energy comes from, and who you’re giving your money to, right down to the minute, site and human. 

This is a level of traceability far deeper than you’d get from renewable energy certificates, which might offset the power that you take from the grid, but doesn’t guarantee that your energy is actually coming from renewable sources.

Generators will also get these insights to see the impact they’re making down to the megawatt. We’ll show them exactly where their energy ended up and the businesses they’re matched with.

By choosing RED, you’re supporting hundreds of businesses and generators across the UK to get as close as humanly possible to 100% traceable renewable energy  – without heavy compromise or cost.

4) Join the renewable energy movement

By powering your business with Renewable Energy Direct, you’re not just improving how sustainably your business operates, but you’re a part of something bigger.

By buying your energy directly from the generators in our network, you can be sure that your business is powered on electricity that is truly renewable and that you’re leaving a positive environmental and social legacy.

You’ll also be backing the good people bringing renewable energy to the world. Generators are humans too, and by buying your energy directly from them and giving them back the fees that the wholesale market has always taken, you’re enabling them to keep doing what they’re doing, encouraging more generators to contribute to the grid, and reducing the UK’s dependence on imported fossil fuels.

What's more, you’re also helping to disrupt an unfair and outdated energy market, where Big Energy always wins and 99% of businesses lose – balancing the playing field to put renewable energy, and money, back into the hands of those who need it. 

Ultimately, by moving onto RED, you’re helping to drive the renewable energy movement forward – so you can focus on growing whilst supporting the transition to a low-carbon future.
