August 29, 2019

“The renewable energy market in Europe broke two barriers in 2018; with supply of Guarantees of Origin nearly reaching 600 TWh – and demand surpassing 500 TWh,” said Tom Lindberg, Managing Director at ECOHZ, commenting on new statistics from the Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB). “The European renewable energy market with Guarantees of Origin continued to grow and seemed like a market more balanced and mature than earlier. The surplus gap in 2018 did not widen, and seems likely to diminish in the near future.”
