Definitions of Roles

  • Producer: The owner of a Production Device which is valid for GC Issuance. 

  • Granular Certificate Issuer (GC Issuer): A Granular Certificate Issuer is an organization responsible for the administration of the Granular Certificates within a Domain for an Energy Carrier, ensuring the avoidance of Double Counting of the Attributes represented by the Granular Certificates it administers throughout their lifetime.

  • Consumer: The final beneficiary of GC/EAC cancelation cancellation and potentially the user of associated consumed energy. 

  • GC Matcher (or GC-Consumption Matcher) (or Matcher): An organization that matches the Attributes of canceled GCs to a specific quantity of energy consumption of a specific Consumer/Supplier, with a view to determining the content of a GC Matching Claim.

  • Claim Verifier (or GC Claim Verifier): An organization checking that Granular Certificates (GCs) are canceled against the energy consumption measured at one or a group of multiple Consumption Points in compliance with the Matching rules in this standard and the guidelines in the GC Use Case Guidelines.
