Most of Europe's GO disclosure deadlines fall four days from now - on 31 March.
But a few markets don't follow this convention.
Our latest article maps every European disclosure deadline - including the exceptions that quietly catch people out.

Tighter geographic sourcing for renewable tracking instruments are on the horizon, as per the GHG Protocol's draft Scope 2 revisions.
You'll need to think about where your certificates (GOs) come from - on top of coordinating transfers.

The GHG Protocol's draft Scope 2 revisions are set to redraw certificate sourcing requirements.
Emissions reporting will rely on location-specific provenance. Relying exclusively on exported GOs could be a challenge depending on your geographic scope.

Estonia has been well represented in Mastercard's Lighthouse MASSIV before, but just once in the Spring 2026 class - Soldera.
When an organisation like Mastercard recognises what you're building and wants to help you scale further, that's a very welcome, warm, feeling.

"We don't need local cancellations, we just cancel GOs in our Norwegian account"
Right...
Ex-domain GO cancellations aren't a workaround for cross-border renewable claims. They're a last resort with a very narrow path to validity.

Most companies buying Guarantees of Origin don't realise the channel shapes the price, ease & reliability of their Scope 2 reporting.
Brokers, marketplaces, and digital platforms can all get you there. The route shapes your experience more than most expect.

Blog hero image for the article "What is Ex-Domain Cancellation?" featuring compliance status badges indicating which cancellation practices are not allowed, conditional, or allowed, indicating the article covers the topic in detail.
Too many renewable buyers are getting this wrong.
Ex-Domain Cancellations for Guarantees of Origin aren't viable in almost every instance. They don't hold up under RE100 and are not permissible under EECS rules.
We mapped out the rules across every AIB country

Two dimensions of renewable energy matching are entering the standards spotlight in 2026: when certificates are cancelled relative to consumption (temporal), and where the generation physically sits relative to load (geographic).
The GHGP revision, targeting 2027, proposes to tighten both
#Scope2
Accelerating renewable deployment is only half the equation. Economic incentives and tech/tracking infrastructure has to keep up: Countries also need the certificate registries, issuing bodies, cancellation systems - in order to verify and account for that renewable generation
Regardless of federal policy direction, state-level renewable portfolio standards and corporate voluntary procurement continue to drive US REC markets. Let's stay positive, many states still have RPS mandates. Renewable market infrastrucure doesn't depend on a single administration
The "where we can get it wrong" part is crucial. One risk: companies claiming renewable energy through low-quality certificates without measurable impact on the grid. We have to ensure that accounting systems keep pace so we don't lose the abiltiy to verify progress
Exactly right. Every MWh backed by a local renewable certificate is one that's immune to geopolitical chaos. Companies with long-term renewable PPAs and certificate strategies are watching the oil price shocks from the sidlines right now.
Most renewable energy claims today rest on annual accounting.
Our latest article breaks down temporal and geographic matching - what they are, why they matter, and what are the changes that sustainability teams should be watching for.

Kuidas ma AI agendi endale tööle panin 🎙️
Käisin taas Algorütmi podcasti külas. Seekord praktiliselt - kuidas OpenClaw üles seada ja mida sellega päriselt teha saab.
Agent scrollib iga öö sotsmeediat, kogub leade ja maksab arveid. Raamatupidaja on õnnelik 😄

The economics are undeniable now. What often gets missed in policy debates is that cheaper renewable energy also means cheaper Guarantees of Origin and RECs - making corporate green procurement more accessible. When certificates are affordable, more companies participate, creating a virtuous cycle.
Recent corporate conversations at Soldera have let us in on a pretty awkward truth about renewable procurement.
Many firms believe they've already been sent their audit-grade certificates. In reality, they've got a proxy that opens more questions for an auditor than it answers.

The 40% figure really puts the energy transition challenge in perspective. As we build out renewables, the certificate and tracking infrastucture needs to scale just as fast. No point generating clean energy if you cant prove it and attribute it properly to the end consumer.
Smart move by TfL. The interesting part is how they verify the 100% renewable claim - energy attribute certificates that trace production to individual machines are critical at this scale. Sets a good precendent for other large public buyers.
452 gCO₂/kWh.
Europe's default Scope 2 factor if you don't cancel GOs. You inherit every unclaimed attribute - only ~18% renewable...
Your grid might be clean. Doesn't matter, you're required to claim the attributes you need in advance!
#Scope2
Visst skärs delar ned, men företag som redan investerat i rapportering har ett försprång. Omnibus förenklar ramverket men tar inte bort behovet av kvalitetsdata - särskilt kring energianskaffning och Scope 2. De som väntat hamnar snarare i bakvatten.
Cancel an EAC, those attributes leave the shared pool. Delay procurement and you'll report with whatever's left, known as the residual mix. It's not a light number.
What it actually means heading into reporting season 👇

That renewable proof your utility sent you?
It's an abstraction: missing device data, precise volumes, energy source codes, and more. Everything an auditor needs for Scope 2 assurance.
Utilities are only simplifying for their customers, but it's still not the underlying EACs 👇

The 'harder to deploy' part is key. Higher fossil prices help the economics but the real bottleneck is infrastructure - permitting, grid connections, and the certificate markets that let buyers actually cliam the green attribute. The demand side is ready, the supply chain needs to catch up.
Exactly right. And the companies that already have renewable energy procurement locked in with proper certificates are the ones least exposed right now. The geopolitical resilience argument for renewables is becoming the strongest business case - not just the climate case.
The data visibility concern is real - fewer companies reporting means investors lose coverage. But for those still in scope, the expectation on provenance is going up. Scope 2 claims backed by cancellation statements tied to specific power plants are becoming the standard auditors want to see.
This is the right approach. Reporting for accountability over compliance sends a stronger signal to stakeholders than mandatory reporting ever could. More organizations should follow - voluntary reporting with proper documentation often ends up being more credble than checkbox compliance.
Financial regulators know investor-grade ESG needs consistency. For Scope 2, the key is certificate provenance - cancellation statements tied to specific power plants give auditors and investors something concrete to work with. Thats the granularity that builds real confidence in the numbers.
Good framing. Even the revised standards are a significant step up from where we were. Companies still in scope will need tighter documentation - especially on energy, where reporting cancellation statements down to specific power plants separates credible Scope 2 claims from generic ones.
Fewer companies in scope actually raises the bar for those remaining. Auditors can dig deeper into each report, and for energy procurement specifically they'll expect cancellation statements tied to specific power plants. The companies that get certificate provenance right now will stand out.
