Energy Attribute Certificates: How They Work

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs), also known as Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), are the underlying mechanism for claiming consumption of renewable energy and can help you reduce your Scope 2 emissions with best-in-class practices. These internationally-recognised certificates support compliance by:

  • Adhering to global accounting and reporting frameworks
  • Bolstering renewable energy development
  • Relieving pressure from your stakeholders

EACs are internationally recognised, tradable instruments which prove that electricity has been generated from solar, wind or another renewable source and allow any end-user to claim the consumption of the associated renewable energy. Each EAC represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of renewable energy generation.

Why Your Business Needs an EAC

Meeting stakeholder expectations around sustainability can be a challenge, especially if you’re trying to balance an effective energy management plan. Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) – also known as Guarantees of Origin (GOs) and International RECs – allow you to start reporting your commitment to decarbonisation quickly and might work well as one of the elements in your overall energy management and sustainability planning, especially if you are focused on Scope 2 emissions or want immediate impact. 

After hearing your goals and priorities, our renewable energy experts will assess the impact EACs and/or other renewable energy solutions could have on your organisation.

If EACs don’t meet your organisation’s needs, fear not. Our renewable energy experts can help identify the right decarbonisation solutions for you and are glad to share information and insights they’ve gained over many years and engagements.
