EAC management & procurement

Every certificate matched, from procurement to retirement.

Most teams track Energy Attribute Certificates in spreadsheets that go stale the day they are built. Meridian holds your whole portfolio in one system of record: consolidate certificates from any source, match to the standard you report against, buy what is missing, and retire with an audit trail.

Managing renewable energy portfolios with 3Degrees

Your portfolio, reconciled

Demand on one side, certificates on the other

Coverage against the load it has to match, allocation that reconciles from country down to site, and the certificate lifecycle behind your claim, in one managed view on representative data.

From a pile of certificates to a defensible claim

The work is not buying EACs. It is proving the ones you hold cover the load you are reporting on, in the markets and vintages your standard accepts — a chain of custody from procurement to retirement that turns time-to-audit from weeks of spreadsheet work into an export.

Consolidate from any source

Broker confirmations, registry exports, spreadsheets, even PDFs. Meridian reads the columns, normalizes market and vintage, and lands every certificate in one inventory.

Match to the standard you report

Geography and vintage are scored against the rules your framework sets, so a certificate that cannot back a claim is flagged before an auditor finds it, not after.

Retire with an audit trail

Each certificate retires once, against the load it covers, with an audit-ready attestation generated for the claim. No double counting, no rebuilt-by-hand evidence pack.

One claim, traceable to the certificate behind it.

Across more than 100 markets, every megawatt-hour you report ties back to a certificate you can produce on demand.

Matching and standards

Match to the rules your framework requires.

Pick the framework you align with and Meridian sets the matching rules: vintage window, eligible technology, market boundary, certification, and sourcing. Market facts set the floor; you can only tighten from there. As RE100 and the GHG Protocol move toward hourly and grid-level matching, you change a rule, not your system.

I align with

RE100 Technical Criteria v5 (2024).

Time matching: Annual matching
Vintage: 21-month vintage window
Technology: RE100-eligible; no nuclear or large hydro
Geography: RE100 Europe / US & Canada market pools
Certification: Green-e or EKOenergy where applicable
Sourcing priority: PPAs and projects under 15 years scored higher

Tracked across the registries you already use

Meridian produces the market-based scope 2 evidence to support your reporting; it does not replace your auditor's review.

Procurement

Buy what is missing, in the same system

When coverage falls short, source the gap from a curated catalog of third-party verified EACs across more than 100 markets, priced transparently. What you buy lands straight in the inventory you just saw.

Market knowledge

Know what is available in every market, and how to buy it.

The hardest part of a global program is knowing the local market: what instruments exist, what they cost, and how to procure them. Meridian builds that in, with country guidance maintained by the 3Degrees advisory team.

The 3Degrees difference

Management, procurement, and advisory under one roof

Most tools either hold your certificates or sell you new ones. 3Degrees does both, backed by an advisory team that has worked these markets since 2002, so the strategy and the system of record are the same team.

Frequently asked questions

What certificate managers ask about running a portfolio in Meridian.

What it manages

Broker confirmations, registry downloads, CSV and Excel exports, and PDFs. Meridian maps the columns, normalizes market and vintage, and consolidates everything into one portfolio you can actually reconcile.

Each certificate is scored on geography and vintage against the rules of the framework you align with, with regional eligibility (AIB, RE100 Europe, NERC) applied, so an ineligible match surfaces before true-up.

Retirement is a terminal step, recorded once per certificate against the load it covers, and an audit-ready attestation is generated for the claim so your evidence pack is a download, not a rebuild.

Working with 3Degrees

Yes. Procurement offers third-party verified EACs across more than 100 markets at transparent prices, and anything you buy lands in the same inventory, already matched to your demand.

RECs, I-RECs, GOs, and the regional equivalents across more than 100 markets, held side by side with your PPAs so coverage rolls up across every contract and certificate, not separate spreadsheets.

Yes. Enterprise accounts include a managed service: our team runs matching, procurement, and retirement with you, and the advisory team is there when a strategy question or a market move needs a decision.

Wholesale market and EAC price intelligence sits next to your gap, so you can see what closing it costs now versus what it has cost historically — and route larger purchases to the wholesale desk when timing or volume warrants it. Meridian informs the decision; it does not promise to time the market.
