AIB develops, uses, and promotes a European, harmonised, and standardised system of energy certification for all energy carriers: the European Energy Certificate System – “EECS”.
EECS is based on structures and procedures that ensure the reliable operation of energy certificate schemes in Europe. These schemes satisfy the criteria of objectivity, non-discrimination, transparency, and cost-effectiveness, to facilitate the international exchange of guarantees of origin.
To further facilitate this, the AIB operates an inter-registry, communications Hub.
At the end of 2022, AIB will have 35 members from 28 European countries (EU, EEA, and Energy Community member states). All are Issuing Bodies appointed by their government to administer a system for Guarantees of Origin (GOs) for electricity.
During 2022, AIB welcomed Gasgrid Finland, JSC Conexus Baltic Grid, Ambergrid Lithuania, and Enagas GTS S.A.U. as members of the Association. Since 1 January 2023, the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine (SAEE) has been an observer of AIB.
In 2022, 810 million certificates (810 TWh) were issued based on production date, and 862 million certificates were issued based on transaction date. The market for electricity GOs continues to grow.
The AIB also provides a knowledge centre for energy certificate authorities across Europe, providing and sharing advice and guidance.
Established in 1997, the Center for Resource Solutions (CRS) is a nongovernmental organization (NGO) dedicated to developing policy and market solutions that drive the advancement of sustainable energy.
