ANNEX XII

GUARANTEE OF ORIGIN FOR ELECTRICITY PRODUCED FROM HIGH-EFFICIENCY COGENERATION

(1) 

Member States shall take measures to ensure that:

(a) 

the guarantee of origin of the electricity produced from high-efficiency cogeneration:

— 
enables producers to demonstrate that the electricity they sell is produced from high-efficiency cogeneration and is issued to that effect in response to a request from the producer;
— 
is accurate, reliable and fraud-resistant;
— 
is issued, transferred and cancelled electronically;
(b) 

the same unit of energy from high-efficiency cogeneration is taken into account only once.

(2) 

The guarantee of origin referred to in Article 26(13) shall contain at least the following information:

(a) 

the identity, location, type and capacity (thermal and electrical) of the installation where the energy was produced;

(b) 

the dates and places of production;

(c) 

the lower calorific value of the fuel source from which the electricity was produced;

(d) 

the quantity and the use of the heat generated together with the electricity;

(e) 

the quantity of electricity from high-efficiency cogeneration in accordance with Annex III that the guarantee of origin represents;

(f) 

the primary energy savings calculated in accordance with Annex III on the basis of the harmonised efficiency reference values indicated in Annex III, point (d);

(g) 

the nominal electric and thermal efficiency of the plant;

(h) 

whether and to what extent the installation has benefited from investment support;

(i) 

whether and to what extent the unit of energy has benefited in any other way from a national support scheme, and the type of support scheme;

(j) 

the date on which the installation became operational; and

(k) 

the date and country of issue and a unique identification number.

The guarantee of origin shall be of the standard size of 1 MWh. It shall relate to the net electricity output measured at the station boundary and exported to the grid.
