A metering protocol describes the production installation, energy flows, and how measurements are taken. It includes information about the location, installations, measurement accuracy, and the metering company. The protocol is valid for 5 years and must be updated when changes occur.
A metering report contains metering data and/or information about biomass streams used. It substantiates the energy produced.
If you submit your report even one day late, we are required to reduce the number of GOs by 1/365. This reduction increases for each additional day of delay. This is stipulated in the regulations of the Ministry of Climate and Green Growth.

Some installations use multiple types of fuel. Biomass percentages indicate the share of energy from each source, expressed as percentages.
You can enter biomass percentages in MyVertiCer under 'Brandstofpercentages' tab.
GOs allow you to demonstrate the origin of energy, for example, whether it was generated from solar or wind power. This supports the energy transition.
