WHAT WE BROKER

European Guarantees of Origin and power certificates

Cleanworld has brokered European power certificates since 2008 β€” one of the largest independent inter-dealer brokers on the continent by executed volume. We cover every instrument that proves the renewable origin of electricity, across compliance and voluntary markets. The European GoO market passed 1,000 TWh of issuance for the first time in 2024 β€” and we are active across all of it.

HOW THE MARKET WORKS

Issued, traded and redeemed across Europe

European Guarantees of Origin follow the EECS standard and move between national registries through the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) hub. We broker every step β€” issuance, cross-border transfer and cancellation.

EECS standard
The European Energy Certificate System β€” the common standard behind tradable GoOs.
AIB hub
The Association of Issuing Bodies network that enables cross-border GoO transfer.
National registries
The market-specific registries that issue and cancel certificates.
Cancellation & claims
Final retirement of a certificate against a customer's renewable-electricity claim.

Disclosure & reporting
Residual-mix and supplier-disclosure obligations across EU member states.
Compliance schemes
