About the Electricity Certificate System
The electricity certificate system is a market based system to support the expansion of electricity production in Sweden from renewable energy sources and peat. Its objective is to increase, by 2016, the production of electricity from such sources by 17 TWh relative to the production level in 2002. It is part of the country’s overall objective of moving Sweden towards a more ecologically sustainable energy system.
