TRANSACTIONS IN GUARANTEES OF ORIGIN

To users of electricity, Guarantees of Origin (GO) convey information on the method, location and the date of its generation (for each unique MWh).

Based on the Renewables Directive, the European Union is now implementing a scheme into Member State law, allowing for GO to be issued, traded and redeemed electronically under legally enforceable rules.

For wind power, an increased reliability and geographical scope of GO transfers opens up new opportunities for operators in regions with favourable conditions of production, such as Scandinavia, to export GO to users in less favoured ones (e.g. Central Europe).

How we facilitate GO transactions

Based on an in-depth understanding of GO markets and an international partner network, Vind Invest supports transactions by:

● Matching GO sellers and buyers — focusing on Scandinavian producers of wind power and GO buyers from countries such as Germany and Switzerland.

● Providing information on GO market trends and regulations (governing the issuance, transfer and redemption of GO).
