Webcast Series – Corporate Sourcing of Renewable Energy: Japan

GWEC and RE100, an initiative led by The Climate Group in partnership with CDP, are organising a webcast series on “Corporates in the Global Energy Transition” throughout 2020. This series examines how corporate sourcing of renewable energy in emerging wind/solar markets is transforming energy systems around the world. The webcasts are conducted in partnership with Baker McKenzie and Global Solar Council (GSC), and focus on four high-impact markets or regions: India, Taiwan, Japan and South East Asia/Australia.

The Japan edition will be held on 27 August 2020, beginning with a webcast highlighting the opportunities and challenges for corporate procurement of renewable energy in Japan. International law firm Baker McKenzie will explain the legal and regulatory frameworks supporting the corporate market in Taiwan, including potential barriers for market actors. TBC will discuss the on-the-ground reality from the corporate demand-side perspective, unpacking the experience, gaps and upsides for procurement of renewables.

Following the webcast, there will be an opportunity for free networking sessions bringing together corporate renewable energy buyers, sellers and advisers, hosted for one hour on the Hopin platform.
