We’re an independent non-profit, advocating for policy reform and enabling the next generation of clean electricity markets

To cut emissions and lower costs, we need clean power around-the-clock. Yet today’s frameworks let companies claim 100% clean energy annually while still relying on fossil fuels. As the saying goes, “show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome”—and today’s incentives aren’t set up to deliver cheap, clean power when it’s needed. EnergyTag exists to fix this: we enable and advocate for global rule changes so clean power markets reflect reality and reward the tools – renewables, storage, flexible demand, clean-firm power—that can truly deliver affordable clean electricity every hour, everywhere.
It’s a cruel irony: the more renewables we deploy, the harder they are to integrate into the grid. A key root cause lies in today’s clean power markets and accounting systems, which only match supply and demand on an annual basis and across vast geographies. This lets companies claim to be ‘solar powered at night’ or to “use” power that never reaches their grid.
Even ‘100% renewable’ claims often mask fossil fuel reliance, resulting in major underreporting of corporate emissions, as shown in leading research in Nature. There are no signals today for the storage, flexibility and clean-firm solutions needed to deliver cost-effective renewable integration. Left unreformed, these flawed systems will make the energy transition slower and costlier for consumers.
The solution is simple but transformative – respect reality. This means reforming markets and carbon accounting framework so electricity use is matched with clean power in the same grid and the same hour. This creates credible claims and drives new clean energy investment. Time-stamped Granular Certificates make it possible. Robust evidence from the International Energy Agency, Princeton, and MIT shows that hourly matching:
That’s why EnergyTag works to align markets and accounting with grid reality — to deliver clean power every hour, everywhere.
Publish standards for Granular Certificates and Hourly Matching
Enable markets and projects to demonstrate feasibility
Encourage policies that use Granular Accounting
From pilots to large-scale implementations, these real-world projects show that hourly tracking is already a global technical reality.
