Building pathways to a decarbonized economy

One certificate for every megawatt-hour.

CleanCounts operates North America's most expansive registry for Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs). Generators turn their attributes into revenue. Buyers get proof they can stand behind. Markets get a single source of truth.

The platform

Two registries. One platform.

Electricity Registry

Energy attribute certificates from nuclear, renewables, hydro, and other eligible technologies, carrying fuel type, location, time of generation, and enhanced attributes. One certificate for every megawatt-hour.

Electricity Registry →

Fuels Registry

Biogas, renewable natural gas, and hydrogen, with carbon intensity data verified through independent reporting entities. North America's first registry to track hydrogen. One certificate for every dekatherm (a standard unit of fuel energy).

Fuels Registry →

Hourly & Granular

Granular hourly generation, validated by grid operators, so buyers can match power production to their own electricity use, down to the Watt-hour.

Hourly tracking →

API and Data Access

Every general subscription includes API access. The API lets you do everything programmatically that your role can do in the system.

The why

Why tracking matters.

Claims about clean energy are only as good as the auditable proof (i.e. certificates) behind them. Tracking systems turn a megawatt-hour or a dekatherm of energy into a serialized, verified certificate that can be claimed exactly once, and that discipline is what keeps markets honest. It is all we do.

Integrity

One registry. One record.

Clean energy markets only work when everyone trusts the certificates that describe the energy. CleanCounts gives every certificate its own unique ID number and tracks it from issuance through retirement, so a single Watt-hour can never be counted twice. As a nonprofit, we avoid conflicts of interest through our operating model: we do not trade or broker the certificates we track. We are not selling you the product we count. We work in service of our customers and the market, and every fee we collect goes back into the platform.

Support

Real people. Real answers.

Registries are unfamiliar territory for most people. Getting help should not be. Write to SystemAdmin@cleancounts.org and a member of our client services team, a real person who knows the platform, takes your ticket from first read to resolution. We aim to respond to every inquiry within one business day. Want to talk it through? We will set up a call and walk you through the registry with a live demo.

Support hours: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Time, excluding national holidays.

Governance

Governed like infrastructure.

CleanCounts is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit governed by a board that includes regulators and subject-matter experts from the markets we serve, structured to expand market representation as the registry grows. Significant updates to our operating procedures go through open consultation before they take effect. And our pricing is published for all to see.
