Green-certificate trading
SMEA works as a stock broker for green certificates. It is qualified at working on the PBVC (Bilateral Platform of Green Certificates) and put itself up as a benchmark for purchasing and selling green certificates.
Green certificates can be considered as a sort of incentive to encourage power generation from renewable energy sources. They are released by the Gestore dei Servizi Elettrici S.p.A – GSE upon producer’s notice and represent the environmental value of renewable energy generated. Typically one certificate represents generation of 1 MWh of electricity.
According to d. lgs. 79/99, art.11, since 2002 producers and importers of conventional electricity are obliged to release every year an amount of electricity generated using renewable energy sources.
GME rules and manages the CV market. Purchase and sale agents in the CV market can be: GSE, Italian and international producers, energy power importers, wholesale dealers and associations (consumer, user and environmental organizations, unions), upon request and achievement of a market operator qualification.
