Our purpose is to accelerate the transition to a renewable future.
Our established system equips you to confidently claim the energy you are using is matched with verified renewable sources. In doing this, you are also showing your support for renewable energy generation and a renewable future for Aotearoa.
IMPACTFUL PROCUREMENT OF ENERGY
New Zealand’s general electricity network can’t tell you where your energy has come from. Our established certification system changes that.
As the country moves towards electrification, the amount of electricity we need increases, making it especially important to procure energy that supports renewable generation.
Our system enables you to do this through the credible transfer of renewable attributes.
By purchasing New Zealand Energy Certificates (NZ-ECs), you can claim a portion of the renewable energy that has been fed into the electricity grid.
NZ-ECs are digital certificates that carry ‘attributes’ of generated electricity – such as what fuel is used, where the generation site is, and how many carbon emissions are generated to produce it.
These ‘attributes’ can then be redeemed against a consumer’s electricity usage, so that the consumer can report on their usage as if it was sourced directly from that generation site.
