Certificates of Origin for electricity from renewable sources
If you as a company want to manage and report your Scope 2 emissions – for example, Scope 2 emissions from your purchased electricity, including the charging of an electric vehicle fleet – as part of your sustainability strategy, electricity from renewable sources products are the right way forward. With renewable electricity certificates or certificates of origin companies and suppliers can prove the source of production of the purchased electricity. A robust, transparent and credible renewable sourcing strategy is an important building block for any company striving for CDP reporting or RE100 membership.
ENGIE's experts take into account the key factors in the procurement of electricity from renewable sources:
-
Technology, plant age, unsubsidized plants
We procure the assets that match your procurement strategy. ENGIE has its own portfolio of old and new plants in Germany and internationally. -
Long-term decrease, simultaneity
You as a company can add additionality to your procurement by means of long-term offtake or simultaneity. Our blockchain systems TEO and EngieNow already offer such solutions for you today. -
Procurement of bundled & unbundled
We can supply you with electricity and certificates of origin or alternatively we can only supply certificates of origin separately from the electricity. -
Sustainability and environmental reporting
We procure transparent, credible and internationally recognized renewable electricity products for you in accordance with obligations to investors: the RE100, your Science Based Target (SBTi) or your environmental reporting.
Knowledge: What is a certificate of origin?
A guarantee of origin (GoO) proves that an amount of energy equal to one MWh was produced from renewable sources and fed into the power grid. By purchasing certificates of origin, a company can document the renewable origin attributes of purchased electricity, i.e. comes from renewable sources. There are different certifications in different global economic regions and consequently several names, for example GoOs, I-RECs, RECs.
