Renewable Energy Certificate Matching Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Renewable energy certificates only support a claim if they match the electricity actually used, in the right period and region, and are retired in the claimant's name. This agent reads consumption by site and month, then matches certificates to it. It checks quality criteria, such as vintage, market boundary and resource type, confirms retirement status and looks for double counting across sites or years. It flags gaps and surpluses, and proposes purchases or reallocation. After changes, it recalculates market-based totals. The analyst approves the claims. Edge case: a certificate from last December is applied to January use, so the agent flags the vintage as outside the allowed window.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A certificate covers consumption only when region, vintage, quality and retirement status all match. Each certificate can be used once.

  • Allow certificates only inside the standard's vintage window
  • Match only within the same market boundary
  • Count a certificate once
  • Use the residual mix for uncovered consumption

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Vintage window
  • Reporting standard
  • Market boundaries
  • Residual mix source

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Public claims of renewable use
  • Certificate purchases

Hard limits

  • Never buys certificates
  • Never makes a public renewable claim

It stops when

  • Done: claims verified and approved
  • Stop: retirement records are missing

An example run

What happensFor a company with 24,000 MWh in Germany the agent matched 22,500 MWh of certificates. Of these, 1,200 MWh came from December of the prior year and 600 MWh were already retired for another site, so both checks failed. It released those, leaving 20,700 MWh covered and 3,300 uncovered. It proposed buying 3,300 MWh. The analyst approved the claim at 86 percent coverage.
