Schneider Electric<\/a>, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has recently been recognised by The Center for Resource Solutions (CRS)<\/a>, for its leadership in building renewable energy markets and green power procurement in Asia.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re proud to honour Schneider Electric at the Renewable Energy Markets Asia Awards in recognition of its efforts in providing access to clean electricity throughout Asia,<\/i>\u201d said Jennifer Martin, executive director of CRS. \u201cBy investing in environmentally sustainable companies that provide clean energy to communities that lack a reliable supply, Schneider Electric is doing its part to ensure equal access to energy throughout the region.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n Schneider Electric’s Energy and Sustainability Services division has recently established an office in Singapore to provide advisory services to companies with Asian operations as the renewable energy landscape in Asia is changing and moving faster than ever before. The company’s expansion plans<\/a> in this region comes from the driving force of the trend towards decarbonisation as well SouthEast Asia’s (SEA) thirst for innovation.<\/p>\n The rise of urbanisation, industrialisation and digitisation generate an increasing demand for energy, many countries and businesses are also looking to reduce their carbon footprint while complying with green regulations. Singapore has its own too, with the Singapore Green Plan<\/a> being the most recent sustainability initiative.<\/p>\n \u201cSingapore is a prime location for us to access the SEA region as we can tap on the local government\u2019s push for sustainability, while reaching out to operations that may be built in other ASEAN cities. We are committed to helping businesses meet their sustainability goals and that is why you can expect to see more of us as we plan to keep investing in this part of the world,\u201d <\/i>said Jackson Seng, Energy and Sustainability Services Leader, EAJ Region, Schneider Electric.<\/p>\n Schneider Electric is also a market leader in commercial solutions to digitise operations, minimise energy usage and emissions, and maximise renewable energy utilisation. With Singapore\u2019s push to establish more green buildings and increase adoption of electric vehicles (EV), Schneider Electric\u2019s solutions in these areas will help to back the country\u2019s Green Plan.<\/p>\n Yoon Young Kim, Cluster President of Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Schneider Electric, said, \u201cWith the EV market looking to expand rapidly around the globe, our eMobility offerings provide an end-to-end solution for EV charging infrastructures that increase efficiency, resiliency and sustainability. We want to use this knowledge and expertise to support Singapore\u2019s goal of having 60,000 EV charging points by 2030.<\/i>\u201d<\/p>\n Schneider\u2019s goal is to help its customers save 800 million tons of CO2 <\/sub><\/span>between 2021 and 2025. The ESS division has advised on more than 100 direct and virtual PPA transactions for a total of more than 9000 megawatts globally as well as the brokerage of nearly 100 million megawatt-hours of energy attribute certificates, making Schneider Electric the world\u2019s largest advisor on corporate renewable energy procurement.<\/p>\n Schneider Electric <\/span>was recognised during the Renewable Energy Markets\u2122 Asia Awards award by CRS based on its commitments to <\/span>a clean energy transition. In its own operations, Schneider Electric <\/span>has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 and net-zero CO<\/span>2<\/sub><\/span> emissions by 2030. <\/span>Last year, <\/span>renewable energy powered 80% of Schneider Electric\u2019s operations, up from <\/span>just 2% in 2017. This increase is the result of a strategy to maximize the adoption of onsite capacity, PPAs and certificates. <\/span>Over a three-year period, the <\/span>company has equipped 15 industrial sites<\/span> in China with onsite solar generation, <\/span>with plans for three more to be commissioned in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n The Renewable Energy Markets\u2122 Asia Awards<\/a><\/span> were presented virtually on 9 March, 2021,\u00a0 <\/span>during CRS\u2019 inaugural Renewable Energy Markets (REM) Asia <\/span>conference<\/span><\/a>.<\/span> CRS is a US-based nonprofit with global impact, developing expert responses to climate change issues. The goal of the REM Asia conference is to support the growth of renewable markets in Asia, focusing on corporate sourcing through green tariffs, certificates, and power purchase agreements (PPAs). This unique event will connect leading industry players throughout Asian renewable energy markets to network, learn and plan for the future of the region.<\/span><\/p>\n The acknowledgment from CRS follows Schneider\u2019s 2020 recognition as the Climate Group\u2019s RE100 first Clean Energy Trailblazer<\/span><\/a>, acknowledging Schneider\u2019s drive to help decarbonize the world by accelerating the adoption of renewable energy.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>In January of this year, Schneider was ranked the world\u2019s most sustainable corporation<\/span><\/a> by Corporate Knights, a media and research company focused on corporate sustainability performance.<\/p>\n If you like to know and understand more about Schneider Electric, please visit their website and social media channels below:<\/p>\n * Information courtesy of Schneider Electric and GLOO PR *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Schneider Electric, the global leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, has recently been recognised by The Center for Resource Solutions (CRS), for its leadership in building renewable energy markets and green power procurement in Asia. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to honour Schneider Electric at the Renewable Energy Markets Asia Awards in recognition of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10,2493,15,24,23,13,25,11,12,1,274],"tags":[3234,102,1343,198,430,1348,5156,95,1346,2988,2993,5154,37,1352,185,40,38,1345,186,35,627,1381,33,1339,5152,5155,5151,5150,5149,5157,29,5158,1355,110,2992,1606,5153,2983],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
