Coordinator Sector Integration - Energy Certificates - Strategy consultant
I help energy certificate issuers to design and optimize their energy tracking system to ensure it is trusted, efficient and future proof for the ongoing energy transition.
With 20 years of experience in energy certification I focus on strengthening cooperation between issuing bodies and stakeholders, helping to draft standards and regulation, facilitate energy certificate markets and supervise origin disclosure. I’ve helped the Association of Issuing Bodies, the CertifHy project, the EnergyTag Initiative and individual certificate issuers around the globe to create more transparency in the origin of energy and realize the purpose of their certification system.
This enables the system participants to impact the sustainability of energy production and contribute to a cleaner world: Consumers are empowered to make active choices for a clean origin of the energy they consume, Regulators are equipped to achieve targets, Governments can support energy that meets their criteria.
