Renewable energy tracking is the verifiable measurement and accounting of clean-energy generation and consumption, often recorded on a ledger to prevent double counting of attributes. It underpins renewable energy certificates by binding each megawatt-hour to a unique, auditable claim. Reliable tracking is essential for credible decarbonisation reporting and voluntary climate commitments.

Granular, time-stamped tracking is moving toward hourly matching, giving buyers stronger assurance that their consumption is genuinely covered by renewable supply.
