Universities have long been trailblazers in shaping a better world, proving that their influence extends far beyond academia. By joining forces with Apex Clean Energy, these institutions are setting a high standard for climate leadership, demonstrating how strategic collaboration can drive transformative change.


Apex Clean Energy, a powerhouse in renewable project development, has always been at the forefront of innovative clean energy solutions. In partnership with universities, whose missions align with long-term sustainability and community impact, they’re charting a course that goes beyond energy procurement. They’re crafting a legacy of environmental stewardship.


The latest aggregated Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) underscores the strength of this alliance. These universities are championing the kind of leadership that inspires, committing to renewable wind and solar energy at a scale that delivers measurable climate benefits. Their partnership with Apex highlights the potential of shared goals to ignite meaningful progress.


However, navigating the intricacies of aggregated VPPAs isn’t without hurdles. Synchronizing the priorities of multiple institutions while balancing project timelines can become a daunting task. 

Bridging the Gap with AREC Market

While universities and developers like Apex are doing the heavy lifting to accelerate climate solutions, the Additionality REC Market steps in to make reaching these ambitious goals easier. By simplifying stakeholder alignment and streamlining renewable energy transactions, ARECs help champions like universities and Apex focus on delivering the transformative impact they envision.


Here’s how the AREC Market makes a difference:


  1. Accelerated Collaboration Aggregated VPPAs often require multiple institutions to align competing priorities. AREC’s marketplace provides a platform to budget and procure with standard terms and conditions balanced for both developers and buyers to bring speed and simplicity to the decision process.


  2. Maximized Value for DevelopersApex Clean Energy and other developers alike can benefit from AREC’s streamlined approach, providing value for renewable energy projects at every scale.  


  3. Scalable Impact for Universities Using the AREC Market’s tools, institutions can expand their climate leadership independently without the constraints of aggregated VPPAs.

Celebrating Leadership, Simplifying Action

Universities and Apex Clean Energy are showing us what’s possible when vision meets determination. They are the champions we need—pioneers who lead by example and challenge others to step up. With the support of tools like the AREC Market, these partnerships can be executed more quickly, achieving even greater outcomes for the speed and scale needed to decarbonize our electricity grid.
