Soldera Feature Spotlight: Ecolabel Eligibility & Approval

In the Guarantee of Origin (GO) market, eligibility for premium quality labels (e.g. EKOenergy & OK-POWER) and procurement schemes (e.g. RE100) can deliver revenue uplifts for renewable energy producers. However, navigating complex requirements creates bottlenecks and missed opportunities.

This isn’t just a niche revenue top-up. There’s legitimate reason to give this attention. It’s demand by scarcity: RE100 requires that plants be under 15 years old (with carve-outs). OK Power requires assets under five years (with exceptions), therefore creating distinct GO market segments where newer facilities command a degree of premium.

Soldera's Ecolabel Eligibility & Approval feature automates quality scheme assessment, ensuring producers capture maximum value while maintaining compliance across certification frameworks.

Automated quality verification

• For Independent Criteria Schemes (ICS/Quality Labels): Soldera’s intelligent automation continuously monitors certificate attributes against multiple quality scheme requirements, disrupting the traditional ecolabel verification market that relies on manual document review and registry checking. By automatically flagging eligibility windows and required actions, we eliminate time-intensive and error-prone processes. In short, there’s no way that eligible volumes will slip under the radar.
• For RE100: Our tender provide buyers with all the information they require across spot and forward volumes. Rather than an eligibility check per-se, this data is naturally split up for buyers by default because there is such a high demand for RE100 volume in the first instance.

Importantly, both checks automatically leverage rich metadata already embedded in certificates - data that we pull directly from registries thanks to our comprehensive integrations across Europe.

So, rather than paying consultants for human review, we’re able to access and parse the fundamental device information that allows us to understand whether or not your assets are eligible or not, well in advance.

Buyer preferences

The system excels at granular buyer preference matching. When buyers specify requirements like youngest commissioning dates and unsupported technology, Soldera automatically identifies optimal certificate allocations from producer portfolios. This precision ensures that our member producers consistently achieve highest possible premiums for specific asset characteristics.

For diverse portfolios across multiple countries and technologies, automated optimization becomes particularly valuable. The platform handles complex scenarios involving certificates in various allocations and purposes that are eligible different quality schemes, ensuring the highest-value market segment remains accessible in all instances.

Seamless tender integration

It’s no secret that GO markets are becoming increasingly sophisticated. But, by making quality label and RE100 eligible volumes integral to our auction process, we’ve maximized the surface area of exposure to valuable buyers and traders, sourcing great deals for our producers. This stems back to our understanding that some buyers prioritize specific quality combinations while others focus on pure volume, which is serviced by our primary offering: aggregated volume across spot and forward.
