Two essential reasons for Green Certificates

A negotiable instrument to prove the origin of green electricity.

Green Certificates are negotiable instruments which can be bought and sold to attest the origin of renewable energy sources for the production of electricity. They allow the final purchaser who has expressed a preference for renewable energies, to 'attribute' a production from renewable energy sources, in part, or for all of his electricity consumption.
Green Certificates therefore attest the renewable origin and are the proof that for each kWh consumed; a kWh has been produced from renewable energy and supplied to the grid.

A financial tool indispensable for the development of energy from renewable sources

In the same manner as the 'Black' certificate issued for quotas of CO2 give the 'right to pollute' and the 'White' certificate encourages energy savings, the 'Green' certificate is a financial tool that marks a preference for clean energies and supports their development.
By translating a physical and environmental reality into kWhs produced from renewable energy sources, the ultimate goal is to promote the development of clean energies. This backing is transformed into action with specific offers that include systematic reinvestment in the improvement in the efficiency of existing structures, or in the financing of new production structures.
This is the spirit in which Watt Value and its partner Boralex have undertaken their programme. Our objective is to support productive reinvestment and thus encourage a virtuous system for the improvement of the present situation.
