On which exchange are ERE credits traded?

No central exchange. ERE credits are traded bilaterally or via brokers, and the actual transfer happens in the NEa's Energy for Transport Registry (REV).

When does Joulo sell my ERE credits?

In periodic blocks, timed to market demand • not every day. The net proceeds are settled quarterly into your IBAN.

Can I sell my ERE credits myself?

In theory yes, in practice not viable. The Regeling energie vervoer (article 9, paragraph 6) sets a threshold of at least 2 million kWh per year to register directly with the NEa. Home chargers don't get close. A registration provider bundles your kWh with others' to clear that threshold easily.

What is a good price per ERE?

The reference price for 2026 is around €0.10 per kWh in gross proceeds. Brokers publish indicative rates, but there is no official exchange listing. The net amount you receive depends on the current market and the service fee of your registration provider.

Knowledge base

ERE trading: how is your credit sold?

No central exchange. ERE credits are traded bilaterally or via brokers, with transfer in the NEa register. Joulo bundles your kWh and sells in blocks.

ERE credits represent monetary value, and that value is set by the market. The buyers are fuel suppliers, the sellers are parties that registered renewable energy • such as you, represented by Joulo as registration provider.

Who buys ERE credits?

Fuel suppliers that place petrol and diesel on the Dutch market have an annual obligation under title 9.7 of the Environmental Management Act: for every liter of fuel, they must demonstrate a legally fixed percentage of emission reduction. Failing that triggers an enforcement order or administrative fine from the NEa. Buying ERE credits is how they meet that obligation.

Who sells ERE credits?

Registration providers like Joulo. We register your verified charging sessions in the Energy for Transport Registry (REV) of the NEa, receive ERE credits there, and convert them into cash by selling them to parties with an obligation.

How does a transaction work?

Trading happens outside a central exchange. Two routes are common:

1. Bilateral (OTC) • Joulo and the buyer close a contract directly. Volume and price are agreed bilaterally; the transfer itself happens in the NEa's REV registry. 2. Via a broker • parties that match supply and demand for a fee. Brokers publish indicative prices based on recent transactions.

Both routes end in the same place: an entry in the REV registry, which lets the buyer apply the ERE to their annual obligation.

What Joulo does in practice

We bundle the registered volumes from all customers. That lets us trade in larger blocks and typically achieve a better price than an individual registrant would. After each transaction we see exactly what was realized per kWh • we settle that quarterly in your payout.

How often do we sell?

Not every day. We collect registered volumes and trade in periodic blocks, timed to market demand. The net proceeds (after the service fee) land on your IBAN every quarter. Pending payout, the balance sits in a separate client-funds account at Rabobank.

What you see in your dashboard

Per quarter, Joulo shows:

- The kWh registered - The ERE credits awarded - The gross sales proceeds - The net payout after service fee

Risk: no fixed price

ERE prices fluctuate. No one can guarantee a fixed price per kWh. The rising obligation (from 14.4% in 2026 to 28.4% in 2030) does support demand in the coming years. Read more on price formation.
