Guarantee of Origin (GO) markets throughout Europe are evolving rapidly, showing the importance of demand signals for the deployment of renewable energy. Although centrally regulated by the EU Renewable Energy Directive, GO markets throughout Europe differ in terms of prices, volumes and regulations. The Dutch GO Day is highlighting the most important developments in Europe and is taking a particular look at the GO market in the Netherlands.

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are commonly developed in electricity markets which are embedded within conflict-free areas with safe political and societal structures. That is not to say that conflict regions generally would not benefit from market-oriented financial solutions. Energy Peace Partners (EPP) is a non-profit organization which aims to bring renewable energy markets to regions in the world where a natural development of EAC markets may be less evident due to conflict and related issues.

Oslo Economics, a Norwegian consultancy who offer  analyses and advice for government and public and private companies in the power market area, has published the report “Study on Guarantees of Origin” by commission of the Norwegian Ministery of Petroleum and Energy.
