Guarantees of Origin in Norway.

Norwegian Guarantees of Origin follow the EECS framework and are tracked through NECS. Use 1 GO per 1 MWh as the sizing baseline.

Market summary

Norway certificate basics.

Statnett describes a Guarantee of Origin as an electronic document proving that the corresponding 1 MWh of electrical energy was produced from renewable sources. NECS keeps track of issued certificates, transfers and cancellations.

Norwegian hydropower GOs are commonly discussed in European procurement, so buyers should be precise about technology, vintage, country of production, and retirement evidence.
