Your act50 Documents: Statement of Sustainability and Retirement Statement

Updated over 3 weeks ago

After purchasing EACs through act50, you'll receive two documents at different points in the process, both uploaded directly to your act50 account.

Statement of Sustainability

Issued within a few business days of your order being placed, this is your interim confirmation while the actual certificate retirement is being processed. It includes the volume of renewable electricity purchased, your order number, the cost, and confirmation that Green Project Technologies is processing the retirement on your behalf.

Use it for internal reporting, leadership updates, or audit purposes while you wait for the final Retirement Statement.

Retirement Statement

This is your final, authoritative proof that EACs have been cancelled in the registry on your behalf β€” the document you use for Scope 2 reporting and to meet your customer's renewable energy requirements. It includes the type of EAC, country of origin and consumption, technology (solar, wind, etc.), vintage year, generator ID, volume in MWh, the act50 order number, registry, retirement date, and a unique serial number range assigned exclusively to your organisation.

When Will My Retirement Statement Arrive?

act50 processes retirements in bulk to keep costs down. As a general guide:

  • Orders placed in Q1 β†’ Retirement Statement delivered by end of Q2

  • Orders placed in Q2 β†’ Retirement Statement delivered by end of Q3

Your Statement of Sustainability covers you in the meantime. You'll receive an email notification when your Retirement Statement has been uploaded, and both documents are available in the History screen of your act50 account at any time.
