Reel integrates granular grid data from Electricity Maps to quantify the impact of producing electricity.
Jul 12, 2025
Reel is a start-up that transforms the procurement of sustainable energy for companies. With 24/7 data from Electricity Maps, Reel enables companies to truly take action against climate change.
The Challenge
Green electricity is not always green
When deciding where to procure electricity from, numerous offers advertise green electricity that promises to reduce carbon emissions. Most of these are based on so-called certificates of origin - a method that tracks and claims the right to already produced green electricity.
This method can be complicated and opaque, which often leads companies to believe their contribution is additional, meaning that it adds new renewable electricity to the grid when, in reality, it does not.
Reel aims to support and empower all companies to make a real difference in the fight against climate change, by adding new renewable electricity by means of their procurement. Reel is an electricity provider offering multi-offtake PPAs (power purchase agreements) aimed at simplifying the process, making it accessible for companies of all sizes, and ensuring that it is financially attractive to procure sustainable energy.

"Everything we do has to be rooted in a scientific approach to electricity procurement. So, if we can't accurately quantify the impact of what we are doing, we are sort of taking a shot in the dark. Therefore, it is important to us that we have accurate data with hourly granularity across a large range of bidding zones."

The Solution
Transforming the procurement of sustainable energy for companies
Reliable data is the key
In order for Reel to develop and maintain its solution, 24/7 data on energy production, consumption, and CO2 emissions is needed. Without granular data, it is challenging to measure the actual impact, and the effectiveness of the procurement will decrease.
Reel became aware of Electricity Maps in 2020 and while building their product, different collaboration opportunities were explored.
Electricity Maps methodology and transparency were some of the main reasons why Reel decided to engage with the Electricity Maps API from an early point on. As also the granularity of the data was aligned with the needs identified by Reel the data has become an essential part of Reel's product offering.
A reliable data source
Electricity Maps data allows Reel to unlock and scale the potential to transform PPAs.
Incorporating the data as part of Reel's solution empowers companies to navigate accurately towards using more sustainable energy with a positive climate impact.
