Unicorn Systems will renew the Association of Issuing Bodies Central Processing HUB

Unicorn System will renew the central registry HUB application for The Association of Issuing Bodies (AIB). 

AIB promotes the use of a standardised system, based on harmonised environment, structures and procedures, in order to ensure the reliable operation of international energy certificate systems.

This standardised system is known as EECS® ‐ the European Energy Certificate System – ensures reliable and efficient cross-border exchange of guarantees of origin (GOs), thereby strengthening and enlarging the market.

In order to further facilitate the international exchange of energy certificates, the AIB operates an inter-registry telecommunications Hub. Due to the enormous growth of the GOs traded, the current system is no longer sufficient. Unicorn Systems will completely redesign and rebuild the current application and make it future proof.

The new solution will be hosted, operated and maintained in the Unicorn Energy Cloud.

Unicorn Systems will rebuild the HUB using its Unicorn Open Energy Platform, which has delivered several other European ICT Integration Solutions in the Energy Domain.

Jan Konrád, International Services Director Unicorn Systems,noted:

“I am very happy with this new project, because again it is a project that contributes to an efficient, transparent European Energy Market”.

Phil Moody, Secretary General of the Association of Issuing Bodies,added:

“This represents a further improvement to our members and their account holders, in providing consumers with guaranteed information about the source of their energy.”
