Electricity companies from Iceland and Norway sell green electricity certificates (Guarantees of Origin) while their customers advertise using the same renewable energy. After a temporary ban on certificate exports from Iceland, the responsible Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB) has permanently lifted that ban and does not plan any further action.

Green Electricity Certificates in Europe have a problem and effectively lead to claiming the same renewable energy twice in many cases. A temporary ban on Icelandic exports of these Guarantees of Origin by the responsible AIB has now been permanently lifted. Yet, the problems persist, and in Norway, the same issues exist.
