The energy sales company UES-Garant concludes a number of transactions for the purchase of green certificates for customers in the amount of 220 million kWh generated by Hevel solar power plants. This may be the first transaction in the green attributes market since the new legislative norms came into force, T Plus said in a statement.
Green certificate (certificate of origin of electric energy) is a document confirming the fact of production of electric energy at a renewable or low–carbon energy facility.
Large businesses that are responsible for the environment are interested in reducing the carbon footprint of their production and products. The use of such certificates allows him to declare the application of the principles of sustainable development in the management model.
Before the advent of the mechanism for issuing green certificates in Russia, companies could confirm the use of renewable energy sources (RES) in their work in two ways: through the conclusion of bilateral agreements for the purchase of electricity produced by RES, or through the construction of their own renewable generation.
With the advent of green certificates, customers have access to another more flexible and comfortable, globally recognized tool that simplifies the confirmation of the origin of the electricity used.
