ETNNA Overview
The Environmental Tracking Network (ETNNA) is a voluntary association of certificate tracking systems, regulators and interested market participants that are vested in preventing double-counting and promoting harmonization among certificate tracking systems in North America. Such harmonization will encourage trade, create a common currency for certificates of generation, prevent double counting, and support new and emerging markets.
See us online at www.etnna.org.
Mission
The primary objective of ETNNA is to create a forum
for the coordination and cooperation of systems issuing and tracking
certificates of generation in North America.
Primary Functions
ETNNA has seven core functions and organizational activities.
- Facilitate
the creation of voluntary standards and protocols that promote
compatibility among existing and emerging certificate tracking
systems in North America.
- Convene representatives of North American certificate issuing and tracking systems on a regular
basis to discuss common issues and resolve common problems.
- Maintain an
aggregated renewable energy "Generator Registry" for North America to facilitate the efforts of the tracking systems to ensure
that no megawatt-hour of generation is double-counted.
- Maintain
a library of resources to assist existing and emerging tracking systems, including but not limited to, model contracts and agreements,
legal arguments, operating rules, best practices/lessons learned,
etc.
- Provide
a forum for the resolution of discrepancies or disputes between
tracking systems.
- Provide
a forum for North American tracking systems to address issues related
to the interaction of certificate tracking systems with international
tracking systems and other related emissions accounting bodies,
such as greenhouse gas registries, emissions cap and trade programs,
and emissions markets.
- Provide
a forum for representatives of North American greenhouse gas registries
to meet on a regular basis to discuss common issues, develop common
standards and resolve common problems.
