The value and mechanisms of renewable energy

Renewable energy electricity always has two values: "electrical value" and "environmental value." The "Green Power Certificate System" is a mechanism for documenting and distributing this environmental value. By purchasing environmental value from other companies, it is possible to replace it with electricity equivalent to renewable energy that does not emit CO2.

The cost of purchasing a "Green Power Certificate" is used to maintain and expand renewable energy power generation facilities. By obtaining a "Green Power Certificate," even if you do not have a power generation facility, you are contributing to the spread of renewable energy equivalent to the amount of electricity (kWh) listed on the certificate, and are considered to have used green power.
