them, there are the largest power companies, industrial electricity
consumers, housing cooperatives, municipalities, owners of small-scale RES

Certificate of Origin Register, the volume of certificates has reached 137 TWh
of renewable energy, 218 TWh of energy from high-efficiency co-generation
units and 694 thousand toe of energy efficiency improvements.
The Certificate of Origin Register (COR) was launched at TGE in October 2005 as an integral
element of the system supporting producers of electricity from RES and co-generation units.
It enables the trading of certificates of origin during market sessions and under OTC deals,
as well as the identification of generators and the certificates of origin they are eligible to.
The Register covers six instruments related to electricity from renewable sources and co-gen
units, as well as to the efficiency gains achieved by consumers, producers and during
transmission.
Currently, the COR has 3000 members,
including power companies and industrial
electricity consumers, municipalities, housing
co-operatives, commune associations and
electricity producers relying on renewable
energy sources. The number of certificates of
origin entered to the system since the
inception of the Register until January 2017
corresponds to 355 TWh of certified energy,
including 137 TWh of electricity from
renewable sources, 218 TWh of electricity
from high-efficiency cogeneration units and
694 toe of energy efficiency improvements.
“Three thousand entities and 355 TWh of certified energy are a proof of the trust bestowed
by Register members in Towarowa Giełda Energii. We are grateful for these years of market
development and, at the same time, we feel the responsibility for its further growth and
