What is an ERE service provider for ERE registration?
An ERE service provider handles your ERE registration: charging data is registered into the official ERE process and operationally processed toward the market.

What it is
What exactly does an ERE service provider do?
An ERE service provider registers your home charging sessions as ERE's with the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) for you. The role is defined in the Regeling energie vervoer (article 9) and did not exist under the old HBE system.
Individuals cannot register directly: that requires a threshold of 2 million kWh per calendar year (article 9(6)). Our customers charge 4,100 kWh a year at home on average. A service provider bundles your kWh with thousands of others to clear the threshold • it must itself register at least 200 authorizations or 2 million kWh (article 9(7)).
You provide an authorization that applies per EAN connection for one full calendar year. Only one service provider is active per connection at a time • switching is possible from the next calendar year. The regulatory risk sits with the service provider: "the service provider is responsible for the mistakes of its customers" (explanatory notes, section 6.3). Joulo B.V. holds its own account in the NEa's Register Energie voor Vervoer (REV). The NEa publishes one list of service providers: its overview of account holders.
- a year needed to register directly with the NEa (paragraph 6)

What to compare
Ask every provider this. Us too.
The right question is not only who claims the lowest fee, but who is transparent about total cost, data flow, and contract terms.
A table that beats "others" proves nothing. So there is no column with others here, only the question you ask yourself. The answer shows whether your sessions pass verification.
Joulo
Ask your provider
Your charging data
Data delivery
How your sessions come in
Joulo
Straight from your charger
15 brands via cloud API, plus OCPP 1.6J and charging platforms
Ask your provider
Do I enter kWh myself or send in files?
Then you carry the risk that your sessions are rejected.
Proof per session
What the verifier wants to see
Joulo
Transaction ID, meter readings and timestamp
Every session traceable to the meter in your charger
Ask your provider
Can you trace every session to my meter?
Anyone can edit a file. The NEa rejects a photo of your meter.
Track record
Home charging
The experience that counts
Joulo
34M kWh registered to date
Since 1 January 2026, the day home charging joined
Ask your provider
How many kWh of home charging did you measure in 2026?
HBE experience is about business charging. Home charging never counted there.
Sales
What happened to your ERE's
Ask your provider
Show me your sales, with dates.
A price without a date is a promise, not a sale.
Registry
Where ERE's are booked
Joulo
Own account with the NEa
Booking opens for everyone with release 2 of the registry
Ask your provider
Do you have an REV account yet?
Without one, a provider cannot submit anything.
Money
What you keep
Net per kWh, after the service fee
Joulo
12.6 cents on average
12 cents at the 20% service fee
Ask your provider
What did a customer get net per kWh?
Not what you expect. What was actually traded.
Who buys your ERE's
Who your provider sells to
Joulo
Brokers, highest bid
We sell no fuel
Ask your provider
Do you sell fuel yourself?
Then ask who buys your ERE's, and at what price.
Service fee
Share of the gross proceeds
Joulo
20%, cancellable yearly
No discount you buy with a multi-year contract
Ask your provider
Is your low rate only for 3 or 5 years?
Then you trade your right to cancel for a lower percentage.
Payout
When the money reaches your account
Joulo
Every quarter
Before verification, not a year after
Ask your provider
When do I get the first money?
Money that comes later is worth less. The market charges about 1% per quarter.
Contract and account
Cancelling
What happens to your authorisation
Joulo
Free, as of 1 January
Cancel by 31 December and you switch on 1 January
Ask your provider
Does cancelling cost anything, or do I lose my payout?
If your payout lapses when you cancel, you are locked in.
Backdating
Sessions from before you signed up
Joulo
Every session since 1 January 2026
Sign up by 25 February 2027, if the MID meter was already there
Ask your provider
Do my sessions from before sign-up count?
If your provider only books from the sign-up date, your earlier MID-metered sessions do not count.
Your money
Where it sits until payout
Joulo

Employer and fleet
Specific guidance for lease drivers and employers
In lease setups, pay extra attention to tax handling, policy impact, and authorization flow between employee, employer, and connection owner. Authorization always follows the EAN owner, not the lease company.
