Energy Efficiency Certificates (White Certificates)

Energy Efficiency Certificates (EECs), or white certificates, are tradable instruments awarded to companies to certify measurable energy savings achieved through projects to increase energy efficiency.

Energy Efficiency Certificates (EECs) represent the verified reduction of energy consumption, typically in megawatt-hours (MWh) cumac or similar units.

Governments and regulatory bodies in the EU issue EECs as part of the EED (Energy Efficiency Directive), incentivizing businesses to adopt more efficient technologies and practices in the residential, tertiary, industrial and transport sectors.

By implementing energy-saving projects—such as upgrading lighting systems, improving insulation, or optimizing industrial processes—corporates, through authorized experts (energy providers or delegators), convert those energy-saving works into white certificates.

FAQs on Energy Efficiency

FAQs on Energy Efficiency

Who can trade Energy Efficiency Certificates?

Only authorized experts (delegators and energy providers) can convert and trade white certificates. The experts will trade the white certificates, providing companies with a financial reward for reducing energy use. The company can negotiate the prices with the expert.


On the other hand, every energy provider must buy a certain number of white certificates, proportionally to their energy sales.
