Use Case
EAC Marketplace & Registry
The registry purpose-built for hourly, demand-side energy certificates. Every certificate traces back to an independent measurement. That's what makes them bankable.
The Opportunity
What you're working with
Certificate markets are shifting from annual to hourly granularity. Corporate buyers now ask about time-matching, location-matching, and additionality. Meanwhile, demand-side resources (efficiency, demand response, storage) remain largely invisible to certificate markets built around generation. No incumbent registry handles this.
On WattCarbon, you build a certificate program where every EAC carries a unique serial number, tri-attribute verification (energy, capacity, carbon), and a full audit trail from measurement to retirement. Unlike annual RECs, EACs prove what happened at the hour it happened, at the location it happened.
Whether you are a REC trader expanding into demand-side, a program administrator exploring post-subsidy funding mechanisms, or a platform building certificate functionality, WEATS provides the registry infrastructure so you do not have to build it yourself.
Infrastructure
How WattCarbon helps
WEATS is the registry that makes demand-side energy tradeable. Issuance, serialization, transfer, retirement, and audit trail are all handled. Double-counting prevention is not a policy bolted on after the fact. It is the architecture of the registry itself.
Aristotle is the measurement engine that makes every certificate auditable. Independent M&V backs each EAC with verified performance data tied to a real asset at a specific location and hour.
Against legacy registries, the differentiation is clear: WEATS was designed from day one for demand-side, hourly, serialized certificates. Against internal tracking systems, the differentiation is market trust. A certificate is only as credible as the institution that issues and tracks it.
Getting Started
Typical setup
Identify 5 to 10 projects for a pilot certificate issuance. Confirm the buyer or regulatory use case. Savings calculations start immediately and update nightly once data is connected. WEATS issues EACs with full serial numbers and audit trail as soon as verified data is available.
