Electricity made from renewable energy like solar and wind power has “environmental value” such as energy conservation (reduced use of fossil fuel) and reduction of CO2. This is called “Green Power (GP)”. Through separating “environmental value” and “electricity value” and trading them as certificates (Green Power Certificate), electricity used can be recognized as using GP generated by renewable energy.Certification service for GP is provided by the third party institution “The Green Energy Certification Center” at the Institute of Energy Economics in Japan.
