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. 

EKOenergy ecolabel is a non-profit quality label for renewable energy, available worldwide. The EKOenergy label helps consumers make additional impact with their energy choices and applies to electricity, gas, heat, and cold. In addition to being renewable, EKOenergy-labelled energy fulfills extra sustainability criteria and finances new projects that combat energy poverty.

The ecolabel was launched as an initiative of environmental NGOs by the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation in 2013. The EKOenergy ecolabel has become increasingly active in several continents, including East Asia from 2015 onwards. Ekoenergy-labeled energy is currently being used in 60+ countries and this helps EKOenergy as an NGO initiative to promote the use of sustainable renewables in an increasing number of countries.

The EKOenergy label can be combined with all types of renewable energy sourcing and is available for consumers of all sizes. Users of EKOenergy-labelled energy can use the EKOenergy logo on their publications, offices or on products made with EKOenergy to demonstrate their commitment and inform others about their choice to go the extra mile.

The scope of ERO’s powers and remit:

• It controls prices, or, more precisely, the regulated components of energy prices, on which it issues Price Decisions every year.
• Under the law, it also specifies aid for renewable energy sources in its Price Decisions.
• It promotes competition in the energy sector.
• It licenses energy producers and traders and other energy players and subsequently supervises them.
• It protects consumers in the energy market. It is therefore the right authority to which consumers can resort in case of disputes with their energy supplier/distributor.
