FAQs

What is an Energy Attribute Certificate?

An EAC provides evidence that one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity has been generated. EAC is the umbrella term for systems including RECs, GOs, REGOs and I-RECs

How do EACs support Scope 2 reporting?

EACs can support market-based Scope 2 accounting by matching electricity consumption with renewable energy generation, subject to applicable Greenhouse Gas Protocol and market requirements.

Which type of EAC do I need?

The right certificate depends on where you consume electricity, your reporting requirements and your renewable energy goals. Our experts can manage these requirements across multiple markets.

How are EACs tracked and retired?

Certificates are issued and tracked through recognised registries. Once used for a renewable energy claim, they are retired to prevent them being claimed again.

Can you manage EAC procurement across multiple countries?

Yes. We can source and manage certificates across global markets, helping simplify procurement, delivery and retirement across your operations.
