Join the OpenEAC Alliance

The Goal

The OpenEAC Alliance was formed to improve the oversight and level of quality in clean energy measurement and verification (M&V), and to provide solutions for structural barriers that have prevented the benefits of DERs from being properly valued. 

How can we accomplish this? We can do this by working together to create transparent & consistent industry standards around how we measure and report on Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), so they can be properly valued by energy markets.

Can I join as an individual?

Of course! You are not required to represent a larger company or organization to join the OpenEAC Alliance. If you are an industry professional (or if you wish to just learn more), you are welcome to join! All you need to do is subscribe here and attend the next webinar (on the Meetings Tab). We welcome everyone!

How it works

The OpenEAC Alliance is a volunteer body that reviews the methodologies that are adopted to generate EACs registered on WEATS. The Alliance draws participants from around the globe who share an interest in ensuring that all EACs that are transacted accurately reflect the impacts of the underlying energy embodied by the EAC. 

The Alliance is organized around an open source methodological framework for certifying EACs that relies on community standards and builds on existing best practices. This approach requires a commitment to transparency and openness, but can deliver considerable cost reductions while incentivizing the development of more robust methodologies. 

Who should join?

We are an open, global network of experts collaboratively strengthening energy attribute certificate (EACs) standards and creating industry-wide consistency. This is for M&V professionals around the globe who share an interest in ensuring that all EACs are transacted accurately.
