Does the renewable electricity we purchase physically reach our facilities, or is it tracked separately through GOs?

Good question. The platform operates using the Guarantees of Origin (GO) system, which means the renewable attributes of the electricity are tracked and traded separately from the physical flow.

So no, the renewable electricity you purchase does not physically flow to your facility. You still consume electricity from the grid, which includes a mix of sources. But by buying and retiring GOs, you claim the environmental benefits of renewable generation that was fed into the grid elsewhere.

This is the standard method accepted by the GHG Protocol for market-based Scope 2 reporting and is used widely across Europe and other regions with EAC systems.
