We’re delighted to welcome the new Chair of the 24/7 Carbon-Free Coalition’s Technical Advisory Group. Killian is the Executive Director of EnergyTag, a global non-profit advancing electricity market reform and carbon accounting, with a background in energy strategy and advisory roles to major international institutions.
Killian will oversee the continued development of the 24/7 carbon-free electricity corporate framework and support members with real-word testing. We’ve asked Killian to share his experience, priorities for the next 12 months and explain why the Coalition is playing an important role in the energy transition.
A word from Killian
I am honoured to take on the role of Chair of the 24/7 Carbon-Free Coalition. For me, this Coalition represents the natural progression of corporate clean energy leadership. The first decades of corporate clean energy procurement relied on broad annual accounting to signal demand for renewables. That approach helped kickstart demand, but the markets of the past decade will not be suited for the transition we need in the next.
To deeply decarbonize power systems, sourcing strategies must evolve to match clean electricity with demand in real-time, on the same grids where companies operate. This is how we ensure that the next wave of clean energy investment is developing the solutions we need to deliver clean power, round-the-clock.
The priorities for the next 12 months
-
Support implementation: help members put the technical criteria into practice and learn from their first steps.
-
Connect to policy and standards: ensure our work informs global frameworks like the GHG Protocol and market design debates.
-
Unlocking flexibility: it’s time that the storage and flexibility solutions, long neglected in clean energy procurement, are put front and centre of leadership programs. They are key to renewable integration.
-
Ensure inclusivity: help to ensure all voices are heard – from mature markets to developing ones – so 24/7 carbon-free electricity becomes a practical pathway for companies worldwide, not just a leadership model for a few.
Together we’re shaping the next frontier of carbon-free electricity procurement
Renewables now dominate global electricity buildout, with Wind and Solar PV to cover over 90% of the increase in global electricity demand in 2025. That means flexibility is no longer optional – it is central to the energy transition.
The 24/7 Carbon-Free Coalition is the first major corporate sourcing initiative to directly incentivise and reward solutions like energy storage, demand response and clean firm power. These are the enablers that allow ever-cheaper renewables to keep scaling.
What excites me most is that this Coalition is where evidence, regulation, and market leadership meet. By combining rigorous technical standards with the ambition of the world’s leading energy buyers and sellers, we can shape the clean power markets of the future.
If we succeed, we won’t just improve how companies report their electricity use – we’ll help build the systems that deliver clean, secure, and affordable power every hour of every day.
The 24/7 Carbon-Free Coalition is welcoming new corporate members. Please send an email to 247team@climategroup.org if you would like more information.
