Access vs Premium 24/7 by ENGIE: which path fits your decarbonization goals?
Many companies now share the same ambition: move beyond annual “green electricity” claims and make their electricity sourcing more credible, more transparent and more closely aligned with how power is actually consumed. But not all companies start from the same place!

Some want a pragmatic way to take a first step toward hourly matching, without redesigning their entire energy strategy. Others are ready to go further, secure long-term visibility and help bring new renewable and flexibility capacity to the grid.
This is why ENGIE has structured 24/7 by ENGIE around two complementary offers:
- Access 24/7
- Premium 24/7
Two paths, one shared destination: delivering carbon-free electricity when it is actually consumed, hour by hour.
Access 24/7: start now, without unnecessary complexity
For many organisations, the challenge is clear: how to strengthen credibility without redesigning everything.
Access 24/7 by ENGIE is designed as an entry point for small and mid‑sized B2B customers who want to move beyond annual renewable matching quickly and simply.
Built on existing supply contracts, local assets and hourly production data, it introduces time‑based logic while remaining easy to deploy.
“Access is about turning ambition into action with ease. You build on what already works, but you make the claim more transparent and more robust,” Aude Beuter, Head of Green Energy Acceleration.
Premium 24/7: go further and help shape the market
Large electricity consumers, including data centres, are looking to drive new renewable and flexibility capacity, secure long‑term visibility, and push hourly matching much further.
Premium 24/7 by ENGIE is designed for organizations ready to go further in their decarbonization journey.
It combines supply contracts with long‑term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), enabling the development of new renewable assets and flexibility solutions.
This approach can support a wide range of energy‑intensive players — from industrial groups to large corporate consumers — looking to secure long‑term visibility while contributing to the energy transition.
The objective is not only to match consumption hour by hour, but also to increase carbon‑free capacity on the grid.
This approach is already operational, as shown by ENGIE’s 24/7 carbon‑free energy agreement with Google in Germany, which illustrates how sophisticated portfolios can support always‑on consumption while moving toward full hourly carbon‑free coverage over time.
Choosing between Access and Premium means choosing the right pace
Choosing between Access and Premium is not about selecting a “basic” or an “advanced” solution. It is about recognizing where a company stands today in its decarbonization journey, and how far it aims to go.
For organizations looking to move quickly, reinforce ESG credibility and prepare for more demanding reporting requirements, Access 24/7 offers a solid and pragmatic foundation.
For those with a stronger ambition to lead, invest over the long term and maximize real‑world impact, Premium 24/7 provides a deeper level of commitment and additionality.
Together, these two offers reflect a broader shift in corporate electricity procurement: from volume-based renewable claims toward more time-based, location-aware and impact-driven strategies.
ENGIE’s added value: making 24/7 operational
What makes this two‑offer model work is ENGIE’s ability to manage complexity behind the scenes.
Rather than asking customers to choose between theory and ambition, ENGIE combines asset development, market expertise, flexibility solutions and digital capabilities to make 24/7 operational, scalable and measurable. Certificates remain part of the toolbox, but they are integrated into a broader, time‑based approach that aligns with how electricity systems actually operate.
Whether through Access or Premium, 24/7 by ENGIE enables companies to move forward at their own pace, while staying aligned with a single vision: delivering carbon‑free electricity when it is actually consumed, every hour.
