GoOs and certificates

Green power is proven with guarantees of origin and comparable certificates. We buy the right certificates for your profile, at the right moment, and make sure your green claim is backed by documents.

What the claim has to carry

A green claim is a chain of documents, not a tick.

A guarantee of origin only proves something once it is cancelled against consumption that has actually been measured. Below is that chain, and the document behind each link.

Structure, not a client report

The situation

Picture a green tariff bought once and never questioned again. It holds up until a customer's auditor asks which installation produced the electricity, in which country, and in which period. Those answers live in the certificates, not in the tariff.

Measured consumption
What each connection actually used, per quarter-hour, over the period the claim covers.
Proved byMetering data from the grid operator
totalled per site
Volume to cover
That consumption totalled per site and per period: the volume the claim has to account for.
Proved byEnergy invoices and allocation statements
one per MWh
Guarantees of origin
Each certificate names its technology, its country of origin and the period in which the electricity was produced.
Proved byCertiQ account, or an AIB-linked register
cancelled against
The cancelled claim
Certificates cancelled against that volume. The cancellation is what turns a holding into a claim.
Proved byCancellation statement, per period

The chain breaks where a certificate's country of origin or production period does not line up with the consumption it is meant to cover. That mismatch is what a customer's auditor, or a reviewer of your sustainability reporting, looks for first.

Which technology produced it.

A certificate names wind, solar, hydro or biomass. A green tariff on its own names nothing, which is why it cannot be passed on to a customer who asks.

Which country it came from.

Guarantees of origin trade across Europe through the AIB hub, so electricity consumed here can be backed by production elsewhere. That is permitted, and it is worth knowing before a customer raises it.

Which period it was produced in.

A certificate from another period covers the volume but not the timing. That difference is the whole argument behind matching on a shorter interval.

The chain and the documents are general to how guarantees of origin work. No client data, volumes or costs are shown.
