Renewable energy consumption meter 2021
Hitachi ABB currently sources 60% renewable electricity for its operations in India and South Africa. Additionally, for every MWh of renewable energy sourced by ATC, 20 eurocents goes towards its supported project to eliminate energy poverty by installing renewable energy devices in remote areas with no electricity.
The electricity production in Europe is certified according to the international EECS (European Energy Certificate System) standard and documented by the issue of Guarantees of Origin (GO). The GO system is the main attribute tracking system in Europe and is in compliance with the quality criteria set by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol in the latest Scope 2 guidance document (2015).
Electricity produced from renewable energy sources around the globe is documented by the issue of international renewable energy certificates (I-RECs). Similar to GOs in Europe, I-RECs are the accepted legal instrument through which renewable energy generation and use claims are substantiated in the global renewable energy market.
