Spring gathering and General meeting of 2019
On May 14, the association’s annual meeting was held including seminar and mingle, on beautiful Hasselbacken in Stockholm. The seminar of the day was Sustainable financing through guarantees of origin. Many thanks to moderator Mia Bodin and all speakers for valuable contributions on stage.
During the spring gathering, the celebration of SWEA’s tenth anniversary was initiated.
Sustainable financing through garantees of origin
The label of origin gives the electricity users information about how the electricity was produced. In order for the electricity retailers to be able to guarantee the origin of the electricity sold, they must purchase guarantees of origin. The origin labeling system has received some criticism; As the electricity flows freely in the electricity networks, the electricity retailrr cannot guarantee that the consumer will receive just the electricity purchased under the guarantee.
What role does the guarantee of origin have in the transition? Which rules should apply in Sweden regarding communication of renewable electricity? How can you market yourself as an environmentally friendly player? Need cooperation between authorities and policies to be strengthened so as not to hamper climate-enhancing initiatives? And not least – how to promote trade in guarantees of origin in the future?
