To say that Managing Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) may require an individual to multitask and do a lot of running around tracking and trading in EACs, as well as reporting and making sure that the client is conforming to regulations from the international scene. However, the latest turn toward using more clean energy and promoting sustainability makes keeping everything well-organized more important than it used to be. But here comes the problem that is solved by CFE (Corporate Finance and Energy) to help facilitate EAC management, so that business are able to track and trade these certificates and be able to do so while adhering to the international standards.
What Are Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)?
Now, it is crucial to first explain what Energy Attribute Certificates are before summarizing how CFE aids in their management. These certificates are necessary for the purpose of demonstrating the generation of a particular extent of energy from renewable resources. Since 2006, to every MWh level of green energy that is produced, an EAC is awarded. RECs, I-RECs, GOs, and others are all proof that businesses require to bring their consumption of renewable energy and, therefore, minimize their environmental impact – all packaged into EACs.
For the companies that are involved in the export of energy or those that have embraced sustainable energy programs like RE100, then the energy conversion ratios popularly known as EACs, become a need since consumers require assurance that the energy consumed is actually green and sustainable with evidence that can be traced from the supplier to the consumer.
How CFE Simplifies EAC Management?
This process is not easy especially when the organization has branches in different parts of the world with standard compliance issues. CFE does this in a more straightforward manner by being a kind of “registry of registries.” It guarantees that all EAC data are located in one place making certain that businesses will have a full paperwork view at the usage of renewable energy across borders. This means no more endless hours spend analyzing the sheets, or counting all night to rectify the information sourced from different records.
The success of CFE also means that businesses can incorporate the gathering and consequent elaboration of EACs through the use of automated cloud systems. The key idea is to minimize the labor involved in the process and at the same time, increase the credibility of the data.
Streamlining Data Collection and Processing
Gone are the days of managing multiple data sources through clunky spreadsheets. CFE takes care of the heavy lifting by automating the data collection process from various EAC registries. This not only saves time but also ensures that the data is high-quality and secure. With CFE’s platform, businesses can consolidate information from diverse regions and market standards, allowing for a streamlined process that aligns with international compliance frameworks like CDP, RE100, and CSRD.
By automating data entry, CFE helps businesses focus on using the data for strategic decisions rather than spending valuable time on data management.
Effortless EAC Tracking and Reporting
Tracking and reporting are often the most challenging aspects of EAC management. With the mounting pressure for regulatory compliance, businesses need a solution that provides a clear view of their EAC balances and certificates status. CFE allows businesses to have a comprehensive portfolio overview, including detailed reporting features like volume discrepancy flagging. This means companies can spot discrepancies early on and address them before they become issues, giving them more control over their sustainability reporting.
Additionally, CFE simplifies reporting by providing automated tracking of Scope 2 emissions and transaction logs, ensuring businesses can meet their sustainability reporting obligations with ease and confidence.
Optimized Compliance with Automated Allocation
As businesses expand and work across regions, CFE ensures that EACs are allocated efficiently and according to the region’s regulatory needs. Whether it’s managing EACs for RE100, CDP, or internal reporting, CFE automatically allocates EAC volumes, ensuring that businesses stay compliant while optimizing their renewable energy procurement strategies.
This not only saves valuable time but also helps businesses meet their green energy targets without the complexities of manual management. With CFE, companies can focus on growing their business while ensuring that their renewable energy commitments are met with full compliance.
The Bottom Line: A Smarter Way to Manage EACs

CFE provides a comprehensive, automated platform for companies to manage, track, and trade EACs effectively. With real-time visibility, seamless integration, and enhanced compliance capabilities, businesses can now focus on what matters most: achieving their sustainability goals with confidence.
