Easy VPPA tender puts PPAs within immediate reach for energy buyers. September 23, 2026 If your organization has been priced out, out-competed, or stuck in procurement churn while trying to meet 2030 sustainability goals, this is your moment to move. LevelTen Energy and Constellation just opened a new Easy VPPA tender designed to support small- to medium-size clean energy buyers. The timing of this process is fortuitous, with its conclusion preceding a fast-approaching Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) deadline that will make securing PPAs far more complex. Starting February 1, 2027, the SBTi's Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 begins phasing in, bringing tighter rules for how renewable energy contracts count toward Scope 2 targets - including requirements around EACs needing to be sourced from within buyers' grid regions of operation. Contracts signed before this date will comply with SBTi's legacy clause, and be considered legitimate under SBTi V1.3.1. After this date, buyers will be procuring under a much stricter, more complex standard. Easy VPPA provides a fast lane for small- and medium-sized buyers. Leveraging Constellation's industry-leading access to clean power, Easy VPPAs provide an aggregated PPA opportunity that simplifies procurement success. The current Easy VPPA round is built for buyers ready to move now, before the SBTi window closes. Here's what sets it apart: Operational projects in ERCOT. Through Easy VPPA, LevelTen and Constellation are running an RFP for an aggregated volume of at least 400,000 MWh/year of energy and bundled RECs, with a tenor of 8+ years, sourced from operational wind and solar projects in ERCOT. This approach brings added value for offtakers: * No development risk. These projects are already built, interconnected, and generating. There's no construction timeline to wait out, no permitting, policy, or supply-chain exposure, and no gamble on whether a project reaches commercial operation. * Real price advantage. With construction costs already recouped, tax credits applied, and development risk in the rearview, operational projects typically carry more competitive pricing than pre-operational - bringing buyers de-risked supply without paying a premium. * Contract signature before SBTi changes. PPAs signed before February 1, 2027 are beholden to SBTi V1.3.1 requirements via SBTi's legacy clause. This date is fast approaching, less than five months away. After that, new procurements must meet SBTi 2.0's stricter requirements, including physical deliverability - meaning RECs secured via virtual PPAs in markets outside buyers' grid regions of operation will no longer count toward offsetting annual emissions. Moving now locks in qualified REC supply under today's rules. Aggregations made for all. This Easy VPPA round runs through a well-established, streamlined process: LevelTen aggregates demand from small- and mid-sized buyers, buyers sign a short form agreement with Constellation, and Constellation signs a PPA for a production volume that corresponds to the final aggregated load. You get hyperscaler-level access, without needing hyperscaler-level offtake volumes, legal resources, or complex internal teams. (Read more about the Easy VPPA process.) Get started. If you've been trying to secure a PPA and haven't found the right fit - or you're looking to close the gap on your 2030 goals with a deal that's ready to sign - this round pairs operational projects with an actionable timeline that drives real organizational impact. Buyers ready to move by mid-October may be eligible to participate in this process, or considered for future rounds.

Amplifying impact: LevelTen and Rivian team up to revitalize impact+. September 21, 2026 Key takeaways: * Rivian and LevelTen are bringing Rivian's 3C purpose-driven procurement toolkit - developed in partnership with The Nature Conservancy - into LevelTen's existing Impact+ framework, turning Rivian's tested approach into a standardized, scalable way for buyers and developers to evaluate and act on project impact. * The two companies collaborated to sharpen the methodology behind Impact+, expanding its coverage of biodiversity, water use, community benefits, and labor practices. * The update is a response to significant market changes since Impact+ first launched in 2021. * The new Impact+ gives impact-oriented buyers a more comprehensive way to measure a project's total impact, and turns developers' responsible practices into a competitive edge beyond price. LevelTen and Rivian have long believed that the massive scale of the clean energy transition is also an opportunity to advance a wide array of economic, community, and conservation objectives. LevelTen turned this conviction into action in 2021 with the launch of Impact+: a shared framework for buyers and sellers to communicate and prioritize the aspects of project build-out that impact the communities, ecosystems, and economies they touch. Also in 2021, Rivian began requiring impact metrics as part of its RFPs. Shortly thereafter, Rivian collaborated with The Nature Conservancy to release Power With Purpose: Driving Change Through Clean Energy Procurement, to show how the 3C (Climate, Conservation, and Community) methodology can be applied to any clean energy procurement process - an approach that has been market tested and refined ever since. In the ensuing years, the clean energy market has evolved dramatically. Power demand has skyrocketed, and fossil-powered energy infrastructure has resurged amid the AI data center boom. Understandably, communities are asking tough questions about the energy infrastructure cropping up in their area, and who it's meant to benefit. Many corporate community engagement and development teams are working harder than ever to ensure their clean energy projects are permitted and built in ways that respect and benefit the needs of their host communities. But the weight of that work doesn't always rise to the top of how a project gets evaluated. It's become increasingly clear that an impact measurement tool is only as useful as its capacity to reflect the latest needs and concerns of communities, as well as the realities developers and buyers are navigating. In this spirit, today LevelTen Energy, Inc. is announcing a major evolution of Impact+, developed in partnership with Rivian. By combining Rivian's energy-buying influence with LevelTen's market platform, the new Impact+ will help make higher-impact projects easier to identify, evaluate, and scale. How it started. For most of the last decade, the renewable industry ran on a central currency of carbon-free megawatt-hours. If a project displaced fossil generation and could prove it was additional - meaning it wouldn't have been built without the buyer's contract - the conversation was finished. It was an important starting point, and helped a lot of clean power get built. It was also never the whole picture. A project can be carbon-free and still strain the land, water, and communities around it. What's more, none of these impacts show up in a standard PPA contract or term sheet. As public scrutiny of how and where renewable energy gets sited intensifies, "carbon-free" is often no longer a sufficient selling point. LevelTen built Impact+ to address these gaps. By turning dozens of qualitative signals about a project's siting, workforce, and environmental practices into a single, comparable score, Impact+ gives buyers a standardized way to compare project impact across the Marketplace without building a bespoke evaluation framework for every RFP. It was the industry's first attempt at putting a number on the kind of project qualities that existed only in a developer's pitch deck, if they were mentioned at all. In the years since, Impact+ has become a standard reference point on LevelTen's Marketplace - cited in RFP evaluations, factored into sourcing decisions, and, for impact-driven buyers like Rivian, a required part of every developer response. A standard buyers can stand behind. Greater insight into a project's critical development phases illuminates key differentiators beyond cost alone. In addition to dramatically de-risking sourcing, developers that participate in genuine community engagement and thoughtful siting practices tend to move projects through permitting and interconnection with less friction than those that treat those steps as a formality. Few companies have prioritized impact measurement like Rivian. The company has made purpose-driven procurement central to how it sources power, requiring a completed Impact+ score from every developer that responds to its LevelTen RFPs. This data drives thoughtful consideration of how the projects powering Rivian's products and operations can benefit the communities where its customers live and drive, beyond just a carbon-free label. "The energy transition isn't just about adding clean megawatts. It's about building projects that strengthen communities and safeguard critical ecosystems. Integrating Rivian's 3Cs approach into LevelTen's Impact+ tool makes high-impact, responsible energy procurement measurable, actionable, and scalable for the entire industry." Andrew Peterman, Director of Advanced Energy Solutions Rivian The changes LevelTen Energy, Inc. is announcing today build on the original Impact+ model to better-reflect the realities facing the people and habitats in close proximity to today's clean energy build-out. Rooted in a rigorous, Rivian-led evaluation process, the updates both sharpen and expand the survey's core questions, improving coverage of biodiversity, water use, community benefits, and labor practices specifically. In a market where permitting obstacles and local opposition are already leading causes of delay, a strong Impact+ score is now an even more powerful indicator of the likelihood a project will be built on schedule. That combination also matters when a procurement decision has to hold up to scrutiny from boards, investors, and communities. Doing well by doing good. Since its inception, Impact+ has given developers who invest in intentional siting practices and stronger community-benefits planning a way to make those investments visible to buyers who might otherwise compare projects on commercial terms alone. That visibility matters more now than ever. As permitting journeys grow tougher and buyers face heightened pressure to justify sourcing decisions, developers who can prove they've thoughtfully engaged communities and protected habitats provide a premium offtake product. And because Impact+ scores live on in LevelTen's Marketplace, a strong showing on one project becomes evidence for the next, turning investments developers are already making into a reusable, recognizable asset. "A robust, third-party framework like Impact+ validates our team's commitment to community and habitat from the earliest stages of development. That discipline is what keeps a project moving cleanly from initial siting to commercial operation." Kelly Snyder Executive Vice President of Origination EDPR North America How it's going. The new Impact+ reflects an enduring fact of energy development: needs and priorities evolve constantly. But while circumstances change, transparency and visibility around impact will remain key to forging the path toward better clean energy development. "The fastest path to a successful clean energy transition is one that delivers real benefits for nature and people. LevelTen Energy's leadership in integrating climate, conservation and communities - what we call the 3Cs - into a standardized methodology for project evaluation can help empower clean energy buyers to support projects with lasting social and environmental benefits" Jessica Wilkinson, North America Renewable Energy Lead The Nature Conservancy The updated Impact+ is live on the LevelTen Marketplace today.
