Energy
Track and Trace

Energy Track & Trace (ETT) is an ambitious cooperation around infrastructure for tracking and tracing the origins of sustainable energy from production to consumption.

Our vision

We are driving 24/7 Carbon Free Energy transnational in Europe.

Granular Certificates

Based on the current standard for green electricity, the Guarantees of Origin (GOs), we at Energy Track & Trace (ETT) are developing a system with granular certificates (GCs) to enables hourly tracking instead of annualy tracking.

TSO driven initiative

Energy Track & Trace (ETT) is a joint initiative of European Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and Issuing Bodies (IBs). Together we see the need for granular certificates and are working together to implement them.

Back to physics

Energy Track & Trace (ETT) takes into account the physical realities in the electricity grid regarding transportation and storages. So we support creating investments in renewable energy systems, storage and flexibility.

Why ETT

This is how Energy Track & Trace (ETT) contributes to the success of the energy transition

Better integration of renewables

Incentives for storage investments

More transparency on sustainability

International TSO and Issuing Body set-up to provide the tracking system

Purpose: Development of a granular tracking solution for 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) that is applicable on European scale and includes cross-border exchange.

And a strong group of partners

  • Energy Suppliers that provide clean energy and want to offer 24/7 CFE products.

  • Energy Buyers that develop and execute 24/7 CFE procurement strategies.

  • Service providers that offer market solutions, management systems and matching algorithms for Granular Certificates (GCs).

Testimonials

We are driving 24/7 Carbon Free Energy transnational in Europe.

The aim of the Energy Track & Trace initiative is to bring together the physical and digital processes because an integrated energy system requires smart solutions.

Kadri-Liis Rehtla, Elering (Estonia)

We want to enable fully carbon-neutral processes and products and support the ambitious decarbonization efforts of consumers – by providing a transparent and widely accepted system, tailored to their needs.

Mette Have Larsen-Ledet, Energinet (Denmark)

We have founded Energy Track & Trace to harmonize our solution and in order to scale it on a European level, to make this project available to any European consumer.

Malte Scharf, 50Hertz (Germany)

Webinar: Tracking and Trading Clean Power by the Hour

Published on April 14, 2024

Are you curious about the future of renewable energy tracking and tracing? With Energy Track & Trace, we are building granular registries for green electricity certificates in Europe. The first pilot customers can already use the registers. We are now delighted to have been invited by EnergyTag to present our work in a webinar. Register now and join us on April 18, 2024!

Guarantees of Origin (GO): What it is and why it needs an update

Published on November 13, 2023

In the realm of renewable energy, the European Guarantees of Origin (GO) scheme, is defined by EU Directive 2018/2001 (RED II). It serves as the established framework for tracking renewable energy.

Energy Tracking from Source to Switch with Granular Certificates

Published on November 13, 2023

Energy Track and Trace (ETT) is a groundbreaking initiative focused on Granular Certificates as a new standard for tracking renewable energy from its source to the switch. The goal is to create a detailed energy certification system that offers clear tracking, openness, and TRUST. This paves the way for a wider range of energy options and speeds up the shift towards green energy.
