Green certificates: Market now active in Portugal
23/03/2020Ten years have passed since the first law was enacted in Portugal providing for a mechanism of issuing and management of origin guarantees – certificates which provide evidence to customers that the energy being acquired has a “green origin”, i.e., a certain quota of the energy was generated through renewable power sources (mainly hydric, wind and solar).
The fresh regulation also offers an opportunity for companies to take an important step towards the implementation of social and environmental sustainability policies, which so many companies have been increasingly adopting.
