Guarantees of Origin

    GOs are a key component of the energy transition as they provide transparent tracking of origins of renewable energy within the EU and help decarbonise your environmental footprint under international corporate standards such as RE100, SBTi and CDP. Over the past several years, the supply and demand for GOs has increased significantly, driven by renewable energy policies and more corporations decarbonising their operations via the purchase of GOs.  

    With its companies Grexel, EEX and EPEX SPOT EEX Group operates the entire value chain for the GO markets, including registry services, auctions and clearing & settlement, thus ensuring standardisation, transparency and trust in the market for renewable energies
