EN 16325:2013/FprA1

Guarantees of Origin related to energy - Guarantees of Origin for Electricity

Amendment to EN 16325:2013 due to the fact that the new Directive on Energy Efficiency (2012/27/EU) has been approved. References to the former Cogeneration Directive (2004/8/EG) has to be revised. A thorough review must be performed to see if there are changes due to the new Directive. The revision should be done according to a UAP review.

Overview

EN 16325:2013/FprA1 is a key European standard that addresses Guarantees of Origin (GOs) related to energy, specifically focusing on GOs for electricity. This amendment updates the original EN 16325:2013 standard to align with the Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU), replacing references to the former Cogeneration Directive (2004/8/EC). Developed by the Technical Committee CEN/CLC/JWG 2, this standard ensures that the certification of electricity origin meets current EU regulations, improving transparency and accountability in energy markets.

Key Topics

• Directive Alignment: The amendment revises terminology and references from the 2004 Cogeneration Directive to the 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive to maintain compliance with evolving EU energy policies.
• Terminology Updates: Terms and definitions have been updated, including introduction of a new definition for the Energy Efficiency Directive.
• Guarantee of Origin Format: Modifications specify the format of GOs including data elements such as electrical capacity, identity of the Originating Competent Body, and location details.
• Calculation of Electrical Output: Clear distinctions are made for calculating output for installations operating in either normal or high-efficiency cogeneration modes, utilizing gross or net electrical energy multiplied by energy input factors.
• High-Efficiency Cogeneration Provisions: Specific provisions establish parameters such as thermal capacity, useful heat production, nominal electric and thermal efficiencies for cogeneration units.
• Error Corrections and Reporting: Updates to procedures for error corrections during GO transfers enhance system reliability.
• Annex Updates: Includes revised tables classifying energy sources, competent bodies responsible for GOs, and additional technical annex adjustments to reflect legal changes.
• Terminology Consistency: Corrections throughout the document ensure uniform use of terms like "Account Holder" and "Competent Body".

Applications

• Energy Market Transparency: This standard enables electricity producers and suppliers to certify the origin of electricity accurately, facilitating consumer choice for renewable and high-efficiency energy.
• Compliance with EU Legislation: By adhering to the standard, national GO schemes align with EU directives on energy efficiency and transparency.
• Certification Systems: Transmission System Operators (TSOs) and other designated competent bodies utilize these provisions for issuing and managing Guarantees of Origin across member states.
• Renewable Energy Promotion: The clear methodology for calculation and reporting supports renewable energy targets by providing robust verification of electricity sources.
• Cogeneration Facilities: High-efficiency cogeneration plants benefit from standardized measures ensuring their contribution to energy efficiency is properly recognized.
• Cross-border Energy Trade: Harmonized standards across European countries facilitate the transfer and recognition of GOs, promoting an integrated internal energy market.

Related Standards

• EN 16325:2013 - The original standard on Guarantees of Origin for electricity before the amendment incorporating the new Energy Efficiency Directive.
• Directive 2012/27/EU - European Parliament Energy Efficiency Directive, which this standard references and supports.
• CENELEC and CEN Regulations - Frameworks governing the adoption and implementation of harmonized standards across EU member states.
• Other Energy Certification Standards - Standards dealing with energy labeling, energy audits, and energy management systems that complement the goal of improved energy efficiency and transparency.

By adopting EN 16325:2013/FprA1, energy stakeholders ensure a consistent, robust framework for GO issuance aligned with current EU legislative requirements, thereby promoting renewable energy use, energy efficiency, and consumer trust in certified electricity origins.
