This page introduces EnergyTag — our mission, structure, values, and the people behind the movement for 24/7 carbon-free electricity
Get InvolvedAt EnergyTag, we are accelerating the shift to a fully decarbonized electricity system through hourly tracking of clean energy. Our mission is to establish a global standard for Granular Certificates — digital records that verify when and where electricity was generated.
We envision a world where every megawatt-hour of electricity is time-stamped, transparent, and aligned with a carbon-free grid. A future where energy systems are accountable, data-driven, and built for climate integrity.
Our work is grounded in five core values:
1. Integrity and Transparency
We believe energy and emissions reporting must reflect actual grid conditions. That’s why we support time-based, location-specific, and transparent accounting systems.
2. Evidence-Based Approach
We advocate for methodologies that are robust, verifiable, and shown to drive real system-level decarbonization.
3. Impact and Additionality
We prioritize action that delivers measurable impact. EnergyTag supports systems that incentivize the deployment of new, clean energy and discourage reliance on existing or low-impact assets.
4. Collaboration and Inclusivity
We collaborate with governments, regulators, grid operators, NGOs, and businesses to build a global, inclusive movement for hourly carbon-free energy.
5. Innovation and Accountability
We are committed to shaping the future of electricity accounting by building tools, standards, and coalitions that empower organizations to meet 24/7 carbon-free energy goals.
EnergyTag is organized and governed through a number of key functions illustrated below, each with their own distinct set of responsibilities.
The Board of Directors is responsible for fiduciary duties and key governance decisions, while the Advisory Committee may advise the initiative with expert guidance, in particular, on the technical aspects of the EnergyTag standards.
The Secretariat runs the day-to-day operations of the initiative.
The Working Groups focus on the three major pillars we need to address to scale Granular Certificates and accounting globally:
1) Standards,
2) Market Development,
3) Policy.
The Independent Audit Committee is responsible for robust oversight of the audits for compliance with the EnergyTag GC Scheme Standard and Guidelines. The initiative has over 1000+ Participants from 500+ of the world’s leading organizations.
EnergyTag’s Advisory Committee unites leading experts to provide strategic guidance and uphold the integrity and impact of our hourly carbon-free energy initiatives
Everything we do at EnergyTag is to help accelerate the clean energy transition. To achieve this, we’re guided by three key principles:
EnergyTag is an independent non-profit organization funded solely by philanthropic grants. We do not sell services or accept membership fees, ensuring our work remains impartial and focused on evidence-based reforms to energy markets and carbon accounting.
