Vision 2021-2025
The production, trade, distribution and consumption of energy can be electronically documented and tracked with energy attribute tracking certificates (EAT). The EECS® (European Energy Certificate System®) facilitates harmonised handling of EAT Systems, including guarantees of origin (GOs) issued under various EU Directives and other national legislations. Such GOs prove to a final customer the source of the energy they consume. The EECS® framework enables transfers of certificates between countries and regions.
With a main focus on supporting the energy transition for all stakeholders, AIB aims to unite European issuing bodies of energy attribute tracking systems for all energy carriers and technologies. AIB uses a decision-making structure that respects their varying identities while enabling continuous evolution.
For efficiency in system management, trustworthiness and innovation in energy attribute tracking and reliable energy disclosure, AIB performs the following key activities:
- ➤ Facilitating European transfers: Operational excellence in managing the IT infrastructure of the GO system.
- ➤ Striving for harmonisation: Promoting consistency in rules and practices across issuing bodies.
- ➤ Operating a quality assurance framework: Ensuring trust and reliability in energy attribute tracking.
- ➤ Encouraging cooperation & expertise exchange: Connecting issuing bodies, disclosure bodies, and market parties.
- ➤ Providing transparency: Offering market activity insights and expert information.
