Energy attribute certificates (EACs) are key to the substantiation and verification of energy generated, delivered, and consumed on a shared energy grid. Explore the sections below to learn more about EACs. For more detailed information, see the Energy Attribute Certificate (pdf) document. What is an EAC? What is an EAC?
EACs convey Attributes, which can be defined as factual, verifiable and auditable characteristics of a unit of electricity production. Examples of attributes are energy technology (e.g., Solar PV), the capacity of the device, and the commissioning date of the device. Tracking the attribute of a unit of energy
Defining the attributes of a unit of energy EACs convey Attributes, which can be defined as factual, verifiable and auditable characteristics of a unit of electricity production. Examples of attributes are energy technology (e.g., Solar PV), the capacity of the device, and the commissioning date of the device.
EACs are commonly used to validate claims about compliance with renewable energy standards, voluntary renewable energy purchases, greenhouse gas accounting, and power source and emissions disclosure policies.
Given this technical characteristic, these technologies may be considered as being more akin to demand response than energy storage. The goal of this survey is to bring these technologies to the attention
