What do green electricity certificates offer you?
By choosing green electricity, you make a positive contribution to climate protection as well as to your company's carbon footprint and image. Guarantees of origin give you the certainty that defined quantities of electricity come from renewable sources - including proof of the type and location of green electricity generation.
Vattenfall develops solutions that are tailored to your needs: We supply you with both green electricity including the guarantee of origin and guarantees of origin independent of the electricity supply, which you can use for labelling. In doing so, we draw on our own extensive renewable energy portfolio as well as on our Europe-wide market access and framework agreements with renowned suppliers.
How does it work?
We procure the guarantees of origin according to your requirements such as country of origin, technology (e.g. hydropower, wind, solar) and age of the plants. In the case of special requirements for guarantees of origin, we conduct qualified market enquiries for you.
A fixed or floating price is agreed for the green electricity and/or the guarantees of origin, depending on market liquidity and the product specification. You only pay when you have received the green electricity and/or the guarantees of origin.
Who benefits from certificates of origin?
Companies that want to participate in the promotion of a clean, future-oriented energy supply.
