Solar optimization for a construction company in Dalfsen

The BOLT-40 increases independence and yield

READ THE CASE STUDY

Earn money for every kWh you charge:stop paying for your renewable energy and help prevent grid congestion

Many companies invest in solar energy, batteries, and charging stations, but fail to realize their full value. Unless you register your ERE certificates, you will not receive compensation for the CO₂ emissions you avoid with every kWh charged—whether on your company premises, in your vehicle fleet, or at your charging station.

Set up a charging infrastructure that includes storage and make your charging current ERE-compliant:

  • Unused solar energy → stored and charged when it counts
  • No overview or record-keeping → complete ERE administration and NEa entry handled
  • Grid power counts as 50.5% → verifiable self-generated solar power counts as 100%
  • Complex rules → Boltainer takes care of it; you receive the proceeds

“We already had solar panels and charging stations, but we didn’t know we were eligible for ERE certificates. Thanks to Boltainer’s support and batteries, we’re now also seeing a financial return on our sustainable investments.”

What is an ERE certificate?

An ERE certificate (emission reduction unit) is proof that you have avoided 1 kilogram of CO₂ by supplying electricity to road transport instead of fossil fuels. The ERE replaced the ERE as of January 1, 2026, and is administered by the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa).

Do you have charging stations or batteries that supply power to electric vehicles used by employees, customers, or your own fleet? If so, you can generate additional revenue through ERE certificates. Boltainer handles the metering, billing, and sales.

Why we do things differently at Boltainer

“We see that many companies are missing out on opportunities with their charging stations and batteries. We believe there’s a smarter way—through technology, but above all by working closely with business owners. With Boltainer, we ensure that you don’t just charge—you also earn.”

Orlando Founder of Boltainer

Supply electricity = earn certificates

Each kWh charged is converted into CO₂ avoided. In 2026, grid power will consist of 50.5% renewable energy; verifiable self-generated solar power will account for 100%. You sell the EREs to fuel suppliers who are legally required to reduce their emissions.

Commercial benefits for your charging infrastructure

With ERE certificates, you can earn thousands of euros extra each year from your existing charging stations and battery storage systems. This makes your investment more profitable right away.

Automate the entire process

From registration to reporting: Boltainer automates the entire process. This includes smart battery management, ensuring you always meet the certification requirements.

What are the returns on ERE certificates?

Investing in charging infrastructure and battery storage pays off not only in terms of sustainability, but also financially. For every 278 kWh of renewable energy you charge, you receive 1 ERE certificate.

These certificates are tradable and yield an average of €10 to €15 each. With a market average of €12.35, this can quickly add up to thousands of euros per year.

See below for three scenarios with increasing scale and yield. Yields are based on 100% self-generated renewable energy (solar power). Yields are lower when grid power is used.

How did the ERE come about?

The Renewable Energy Unit (ERE) was introduced in 2015 as part of the Dutch system to make the transportation sector more sustainable. The immediate impetus was the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED), which required EU member states to derive at least 10% of their transportation energy from renewable sources by 2020.

In the Netherlands, that goal was translated into an annual requirement for fuel suppliers to supply an increasing share of renewable energy.

Since then, EREs have become the unit of measurement that companies use to demonstrate how much renewable energy they use in transportation.

One ERE is equivalent to 1 gigajoule (278 kWh) of renewable energy. These certificates are tradable, allowing companies that use more renewable energy to sell them to parties that have not yet met their obligations. This created an effective incentive mechanism for greening the transportation sector.

Charge smart, earn smart with Boltainer

With our DC charging stations and portable battery storage, you can charge your vehicles independently of the grid and earn ERE certificates. Ideal for transportation companies with temporary charging locations, construction logistics, or distribution centers without a high-capacity grid connection. You can make the most of your own solar power and charge vehicles exactly when it counts toward EREs.

No strain on the grid. No waste. Just maximum energy efficiency and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions About ERE Certificates in the Transportation Industry

Can't find your question here? Please contact us.

How much is an ERE worth?

The market value is typically between €10 and €15 per certificate, depending on supply and demand. One ERE is equivalent to 1 gigajoule (278 kWh) of renewable energy.

With smart charging strategies and the storage of self-generated electricity, you can quickly accumulate hundreds of certificates per year, which translates to thousands of euros in additional revenue.

Do I need solar panels to earn EREs?

Not required, but highly recommended. If you charge using self-generated solar energy, 100% of your consumption counts toward EREs. If you charge from the power grid, only 39.9% is counted as renewable. With battery storage, you can store energy generated during the day and charge in the evening or at night, exactly when it counts.

How does Boltainer help with ERE certification?

Boltainer offers an end-to-end solution. We handle the installation of batteries and DC charging stations, ensure proper connection to the NEa registry, and provide an automated system that processes all your charging data into valid ERE reports. You don’t have to worry about paperwork or registration—we’ll take care of it.

What if I charge at multiple locations?

Our solution is fully mobile and modular. Boltainer’s battery containers and charging stations can be used at temporary hubs, exchange locations, or on the road. Whether you have fixed charging stations or a fleet that travels across the country, we ensure that you can always earn ERE Certificates.

How quickly will I recoup my investment?

Depending on your charging volume and use of solar energy, you can recoup the cost of the installation within 3 to 5 years, thanks in part to the ERE feed-in tariff. Companies that already have solar panels often achieve the highest return on investment.

Can I also get a grant for battery storage or charging infrastructure?

Yes, there are various incentive programs, such as the SEBA program and the MIA/VAMIL for sustainable investments. Boltainer can help you identify these opportunities and guide you through the application process.
