The electricity certificate is a market-based support system for renewable electricity production. The system came into force on 1 May 2003 and is intended to increase the production of renewable electricity and to make the production more cost-efficient.

For each MWh produced from renewable resources, electricity producers have the opportunity to be granted an electricity certificate by the Government. The certificates can be sold on an open market to electricity consumers - mostly via electricity suppliers - who have to fulfil a quota obligation of certificated electricity. The quota is set in proportion to total electricity use. Energy-intensive industry is exempt from the requirement.

The demand is thus regulated by means of the quota, while the supply is unregulated. The price is determined freely on the market for certificates. Only new power plants or plants which have undergone recent significant changes are entitled to certificates.

The renewable energy sources include wind, solar, wave, geothermal certain hydro, certain biofuels, and peat in CHP plants.

The objective of the Swedish electricity certificate system is to increase the production of renewable electricity with 25 TWh by year 2020 compared to year 2002. Between 2002 and 2011, the production of renewable electricity increased by approximately 13 TWh, principally by means of biopower and wind power.

Since 1 January 2012, Sweden and Norway share a common electricity certificates market, implying that certificates may be traded between borders . The objective of the common certificates market is to increase the production of renewable electricity with 26,4 TWh by 2020, compared to 2012. This corresponds to approximately 10% of total electricity production in both countries. For consumers who fail to buy enough certificates, there is a financial penalty.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Running Out of Power

Forget the chips. Forget the code. The most expensive, in-demand commodity in the entire $3-trillion AI revolution is not a patented algorithm or a new Nvidia GPU. It's power. Specifically, a secure, high-voltage connection to the electrical grid that can deliver $100-500 million worth of juice to a new data center. Right now, the largest, richest companies on Earth—Google, Microsoft, Amazon—are in an unprecedented global land rush for energy. They are competing with small cities, massive manufacturing plants, and each other, all because…

Colombia's Cocaine Trade Now Outearns Its Oil Exports

Drug lords in Colombia are making more money from cocaine than the government is making from crude oil sales, a report from a Colombian university has found. At $16.5 billion for 2024, cocaine revenues surpassed oil export revenues, which stood at around $15 billion that year, UPI reported, citing the research from EAFIT University. Oil export revenues, however, remain Colombia’s largest export revenue generator, the research showed. Together with coal exports, oil exceeds the illicit trade in cocaine. Still, cocaine revenues in 2024 were…

Geothermal Could Power 65 Million U.S. Homes by 2050, DOE Says

“It’s going to be the decade of geothermal,” Cindy Taff, chief executive of geothermal company Sage Geosystems, told The Hill in February of 2025. Over a year later, it is becoming increasingly evident that Taff is definitely onto something. Although geothermal energy is still a tiny sector and faces some significant headwinds when it comes to its up-front installation and development costs, it has numerous competitive edges over other, more common energy sources. It’s clean, it’s constant, it’s politically popular,…

Asia's Crude Buying Spree Is Running Out of Steam

Asian refiners have reduced their spot purchases of Middle East crude for loading this month and next, following three weeks in which they had purchased millions of barrels of UAE, Saudi, and Iraqi crude. Lingering uncertainties about the navigability of the Strait of Hormuz and high freight costs have deterred Asian buyers from continuing the buying spree that began earlier this month, with millions of barrels of Abu Dhabi crude snapped up in spot trades. Incentives to Buy Immediately Wane Yet, refiners in Asia have spent the better part of the…
