It’s been a while since we released anything on our blog here, a consequence of a hectic conference and event season combined with a bunch of heads-down work deploying our first set of portfolios. Big News: First EACs are LIVE! The big news is that we’ve completed an end-to-end production of our first EACs. If you bought into our solar portfolio, you’ll now see the first allocation of EACs in your account. These EACs are from projects developed by our partners at Solar Holler. They’re putting solar panels on roofs in West Virginia. We’re tracking production on an hourly basis, which means we’re taking the 1 MWh REC that gets registered with PJM GATS and breaking it up into individual watt-hour increments so that the production from each hour can be allocated amongst EAC buyers in the portfolio. Each watt-hour gets its own serial number so that it can be tracked and retired independently of any other watt-hour. We’ve incorporated the guidance of EnergyTag for adding metadata to the record so that you’ll also know the specific solar panels that generated the electricity, the carbon intensity of the grid at the time of day in which the electricity was generated, and other information pertinent to the emissions benefits of the system.
This is a newsletter worth waiting for. Either the newsletters are becoming easier for the average person to understand or perhaps I’m catching on to this. These writings offer an education even for a beginner’s mind.
The progress you are making is very encouraging. I wonder if you are in communication with the state of Michigan about the legislation Gov. Whitmer is signing today? It establishes specific goals for carbon elimination.
Thank you for making this understandable and easier to identify greenwashing schemes that don’t really produce reliable benefits to carbon goals.
