Elcert basics
What are Elcertificates?
Elcertificates are electronic certificates used in the joint Norway and Sweden electricity certificate support scheme. Approved renewable power plants can receive one Elcert for each MWh of eligible electricity production.
Demand is created through quota obligations. Power suppliers and some electricity consumers are required to cover a defined share of consumption with Elcertificates, while renewable producers receive additional income from selling certificates.
The scheme is currently scheduled to end in 2035. Official sources also note that new production devices commissioned after the end of 2021 are not eligible, and NVE has assessed the possibility of an earlier end without making that a settled public outcome on this page.
Elcerts and Guarantees of Origin are related certificate markets, but they are not interchangeable instruments. Elcerts are tied to the Norway-Sweden support scheme, while GOs are used for renewable energy attribute disclosure and cancellation workflows.
FAQ
Elcert questions by role.
Buyer questions
What affects Elcert prices?
Prices can vary by certificate year, volume, delivery route, demand from quota-obligated participants, available supply, counterparty context, and broader market conditions.
Where should I check Elcert coverage?
Use the GreenPowerHub certificate market lookup for the current public coverage view, then continue into a marketplace or trade workflow when the product and account context are clear.
Is Elcert the same as a GO?
No. Elcerts are part of the Norway and Sweden electricity certificate support scheme. Guarantees of Origin are separate energy attribute certificates used for disclosure and cancellation workflows.
What should buyers define before sourcing Elcerts?
Include Norway or Sweden market context, certificate year, volume, delivery route, account context, timing, and documentation expectations.
Seller questions
Can sellers list Elcert supply?
Yes. Sellers can list relevant Elcert supply in GreenPowerHub when their product and account setup support the market, then use marketplace and partner workflows to manage visibility, counterparties, and next steps.
Does GreenPowerHub set Elcert prices?
No. GreenPowerHub is a marketplace. Buyers, sellers, and traders set their own prices for bids, offers, and negotiated trades. GreenPowerHub helps participants see market context and manage the workflow, but pricing decisions stay with the market participants.
How do partner controls help sellers?
Partner controls help teams manage which counterparties they engage with before a market conversation moves toward a transaction.
Does registry context matter?
Yes. Norway uses NECS and Sweden uses Cesar for relevant account and certificate processes. Confirm the correct account context before moving a transaction forward.
Trader questions
What is posted interest?
Posted interest is visible buy or sell intent with product details such as market, year, volume, price context, and counterparty conditions.
How can traders use closing prices?
Closing prices can help trading teams compare market context over time where data is available, alongside visible interest, product details, and counterparty context.
What happens after an Elcert opportunity is accepted?
Accepted opportunities can move into trade workflow for confirmation, signing, documentation, and next-step tracking.
Can Elcert activity sit beside EECS workflows?
Yes. Teams may need to review Elcert as a Norway and Sweden certificate market alongside Nordic and EECS context, while keeping each instrument's purpose separate.
Market-system questions
Is the Elcert scheme still active?
Official sources describe the scheme as scheduled to end in 2035. New production devices commissioned after the end of 2021 are not eligible, and Norwegian authorities have assessed a possible earlier end without that being treated here as a final outcome.
Who administers Elcerts in Norway and Sweden?
NVE manages the Norwegian scheme context, Statnett is the issuing body and operates NECS in Norway, and the Swedish Energy Agency operates the Swedish electricity certificate system and Cesar account system.
Why do quota obligations matter?
Quota obligations create demand by requiring certain suppliers and electricity consumers to cover a defined share of consumption with Elcertificates.
Are new plants still eligible?
Official sources state that new production devices commissioned after the end of 2021 are not eligible for electricity certificates.
