Renewable energy consumption meter
Kinect Energy Group sources 100% renewable electricity for its operations in Europe and North America. Energy consumed in North American offices was sourced from wind farm in Iowa while that in European offices was sourced from Norwegian hydro.
Additionally, for every MWh of renewable energy sourced by Kinect, 10 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 in the US is documented by the issue of renewable energy certificates (RECs). Similar to GOs in Europe, RECs are the accepted legal instrument through which renewable energy generation and use claims are substantiated in the US renewable energy market.
