Reel

Reel is creating a new way of buying electricity to accelerate the renewable energy transition. We are on a mission to empower companies to make a positive climate difference through the electricity they buy and consume. Reel enables all companies to enter a new type of electricity contract (Power Purchase Agreement, PPA) that reduces CO₂ emissions by adding new green electricity to the grid. Our vision is a world running 100 % on renewables. We want to create significant climate impact and help companies reduce emissions while decarbonizing our electricity grid with renewable energy. We are backed by first-class venture and climate-focused investors, senior industry executives, and successful founders.
