ENEL GREEN POWER GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP

AB InBev joined the RE100 initiative in early 2017 , committing to procure 100 % renewable energy by 2025 . This is a progressive commitment and companies , like AB InBev , can meet their renewable energy needs in several ways , including purchasing Energy Attribute Certificates ( EAC ), entering into a long-term Power Purchase Agreement ( PPA ) or signing up for a Green Tariff . The ways an organization can purchase renewable energy is constantly changing and the contract structures are becoming more complex and innovative each day , including financial hedges and weather derivatives . At Enel Green Power , we work with our partners to help them understand these different structures and what options are available in each country where they operate . We spend time understanding the goals and challenges of each organization and walk through the different options available , providing the right solution that meets their goals , delivers cost certainty and minimizes risk . We have worked with AB InBev to find customized solutions in the United States and in Chile . In the US , the contract is a Virtual PPA , which is a long term commitment also known as a Contract for Differences ( CfD ). In Chile , a Green Tariff provided by Enel Distribution Chile is supplied by an Enel Green Power Solar PV plant .
