What Re-source Platform does

RE-Source Platform is a Brussels-headquartered, Belgium-domiciled business network and intelligence platform founded in 2017 to facilitate corporate renewable energy procurement across Europe. The organization operates three interlocking pillars — Network (connecting corporate buyers with suppliers and peers), Knowledge (developing tools, resources, and market data), and Policy (engaging EU policymakers on Electricity Market Design reform and PPA recognition). Its core products include the Energy Buyers Toolkit, the PPA Deal Tracker (market intelligence on corporate PPAs across Europe), the Energy Buyers Hub (an exclusive gated online forum for corporate buyers), an annual RE-Source event described as the world's largest gathering of corporate energy buyers and suppliers, standardized Template PPA Contracts developed with Energy Traders Europe and available in 8 languages, and an ongoing webinar series (RE Source Calling!) covering pricing, on-site generation, and renewable hydrogen.

The platform is anchored by four founding organizations — SolarPower Europe, WindEurope, RE100, and WBCSD — and an advisory board of 11+ major corporate buyers and energy suppliers including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, IKEA, Enel, Engie, and Statkraft. It is free for corporate energy buyers, with the Energy Buyers Hub requiring registration approval. Revenue mechanics are not transparently disclosed but appear to be derived from event sponsorships, partner co-funding, and network participation rather than transactional fees.

The platform addresses the fragmentation of the European corporate renewable procurement market by educating buyers, aggregating market intelligence (10.4 GW of corporate PPAs tracked in 2023 across 21 of 27 EU countries), standardizing transaction documentation, and advocating for regulatory frameworks that lower barriers to corporate PPA adoption. Notable named participants in its network span steel (Salzgitter), airports (Munich Airport), retail (Lidl UK), EV charging (Fastned), technology (Google), telecommunications (Orange, Vodafone Ireland), media (Bloomberg), education (University of Tübingen), automotive (Goodyear), food/beverage (Cargill/Mars), and mining/metals (Atlantic Copper, Rio Tinto).
