Are there certificates for all types of electricity?

EECS now supports the following:

  • Renewable energy is supported by EECS-GO (obligatory Guarantees of Origin under Directives 2001/77/EC and 2009/28/EC) and RECS (voluntary) certificates;
  • Fossil and nuclear energy are supported by EECS Disclosure certificates (these support the Internal Markets in Electricity Directives 2003/54/EC and 2009/72/EC); and
  • High efficiency CHP is supported by CHP-GO (obligatory Guarantees of Origin for CHP, under Directive 2004/8/EC).
