Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)


Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) allow companies to track and prove their renewable energy consumption, supporting the achievement of sustainability goals. Depending on geography, EACs include GoO, RECs, and I-RECs.

Learn how EACs work and how to get started.

Prove Use Of Green Electricity

Secure 100% Renewable Energy with Flexibility

Secure 100% Renewable Energy with Flexibility

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are market-based instruments that certify electricity was generated from renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower. Each EAC represents the environmental benefits of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable energy delivered to the grid.

For companies aiming to achieve their sustainability goals, buying EACs is a straightforward way to source green electricity and promote a clean energy transition.

EACs generate revenues for new and existing renewable energy producers and allow companies to prove that their energy consumption is derived from sustainable energy.

Elements of EAC Scheme

Elements of EAC Scheme

An EAC scheme consists of three core elements - a standard, a registry, and a market. Together, they ensure the integrity of the buyer's purchase.

GO2 Markets maintains access to national, regional, and global registries to facilitate cross-border and transnational transactions across schemes.

Let us know the locations of your energy consumption.

Common Questions

Common Questions

Are EACs the same as carbon offsets?

EACs are specifically tied to renewable energy production and are used to claim the use of renewable electricity. Carbon offsets represent a broader range of activities that reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere.

How are EACs tracked?

EACs tracking systems are electronic databases that register and monitor information about renewable energy generation and the associated Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). These systems ensure that RECs are only held by one organization at a time, preventing double-counting and ownership disputes.

Can a single project generate both EACs and carbon offsets?

In most cases, a single project cannot generate both EACs and carbon offsets for the same environmental attribute to avoid double-counting. However, some projects may be eligible to produce either EACs or carbon offsets, depending on how they are registered and certified.
