What is the status of the registration of my production installation?

You can check the status in the MyVertiCer portal under Mijnproductie-installaties’.

My registration for my production installation is about to expire or has expired. What should I do?

You will find a renewal button in MyVertiCer. This means you won’t have to re-enter all the details of your production facility. After your renewal, your data will be forwarded to your grid operator and/or metering company as usual. They will then assess your production facility.

You can find the renewal button in MyVertiCer under the menu ‘Production Facility’ - ‘My Production Facilities,’ via the drop-down menu behind the registration line for the relevant facility.

In some cases, however, the renewal button is not visible in MyVertiCer. This is because we do not yet have all the necessary data for that production installation. Is this the case for you? Then you must re-register your production installation in MyVertiCer. You will be able to use the renewal button for your next renewal.

Has your production installation changed? In that case, you are always required to submit the current information via a new registration in MyVertiCer.

What should I do if my production installation is transferred to another owner?

  • If you take over or transfer the right to subsidy, arrange this with RVO.
  • The new owner must register the production installation in MyVertiCer. 
What should I do if I am the new owner of an existing production installation?

  • Arrange any subsidy transfer with RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) 
  • Create a producer account in MyVertiCer. 
  • Register the production installation in MyVertiCer. 
  • After verification and approval you will receive a confirmation from VertiCer
How do I change my biomass registration?

Once the measurement data has been received and the fuel percentages have been entered, GOs are issued. At the end of the year, you may make a one-time correction to the fuel percentages. This is done when submitting your annual report (management statement or assurance report). The deadline for submitting this document is 30 April of the following year.
 
If, by any chance, you have made a mistake when entering the data, please contact us and we will help you to correct it.

How do I change a specified certification scheme?

At the end of the year, you may make a one-time correction to the certification scheme you have declared, such as ISCC and BetterBiomass. This should be done when submitting your annual report (management statement or assurance report). The deadline for submitting this document is 30 April of the following year.

If, by any chance, you have made a mistake when entering the data, please contact us and we will help you to correct it.


Has RVO (Netherlands Enterprise Agency) not received metering data for the SDE?

This can have several causes: 

  • Check your metering data 

Contact your grid operator (for electricity) or metering company (for green gas, green hydrogen, or thermal energy) if no or incorrect metering data has been provided. 

  • Check if you have a valid registration in MyVertiCer 

Your production installation registration is valid for 5 years. Check if your registration is still valid. If it has expired, register your production installation again via MyVertiCer. This can be done retroactively to January 1 of the previous calendar year. 

  • Change trader 

If your current trader is no longer registered in MyVertiCer, select a new trader from the Trader Overview and update this in MyVertiCer under Mijnproductie-installaties. The GOs will then be issued retroactively. 

If you have checked the above points and everything is correct, please contact VertiCer. 

Once the measurement data has been processed (see the instruction—Viewing Measurements in MyVertiCer), it will also be available to the RVO.

How do I change other sustainability characteristics?

These characteristics cannot be changed. Please check your input carefully.
