Overview

The Argus Global Energy Certificates report delivers electricity and gas energy attribute certificate prices, news, analysis and other trade data, bringing transparency to voluntary renewables market for the energy transition.

Achieving net zero is a major consideration for all parts of the economy. Energy producers and traders, utilities, energy intensive consumers, retail energy customers and investors are considering means to mitigate exposure to fossil fuels and carbon-intensive energy.

Energy attributes certificates and associated schemes — including guarantees of origin in Europe, national renewable energy certificates schemes and globally traded International Renewable Energy Certificates — enable the documentation of renewable energy supply through the value chain. The certificate acts as a premium to the energy cost, guaranteeing supply originates from a desired non-carbon-emitting source.

Argus’ dedicated market research and access, and resulting price methodologies, mean robust price assessments and indexes, bringing transparency to the trade in green energy premiums.
