Why do companies procure France GOs?
French Guarantees of Origin enable credible renewable electricity claims within France for
compliance purposes. These GOs are used to:
Report Scope 2 emissions (market-based)
Required or recommended under GHG Protocol, CDP, RE100, SBTi, and equivalent frameworks.
Without GOs, companies must report using France's residual mix carbon intensity,
currently
0.0235 tCO₂/MWh
.
Meet investor and lender ESG requirements
Satisfy the renewable criteria that institutional investors and sustainability funds
require, unlocking superior financing terms.
Back sustainability and product claims
Support your clean electricity claims with verifiable, registry-cancelled, audit-ready
certificates for emissions reporting.
Support new renewable buildout
Direct capital to our network of member producers through certificate revenue, improving
the economics of renewable projects.

France is among Europe's top GO markets by issuance volume, driven by its hydro base, and buyers with operations in France can access domestic certificate supply to meet in-country matching needs. We built Soldera so companies can access markets like France's from a single account. Our platform removes the complexity from GO procurement so businesses can stay focused on their RE100 and CSRD commitments.
