The European ACP for EAc6 states:
"Guarantees of Origin (GOs) are an acceptable equivalent to the Green-e program for electricity if additional requirements are met with regards to location of power generation, hydropower and biomass in Europe."
Does anyone know what these "additional requirements" are? It seems I can't find any reference to that nor any specific requirements.

You have to read those portions of the Green-e Standard and demonstrate that the green power you are purchasing is equivalent.

Thanks Marcus. Sounds to me like we are to show the equivalency of local green power and Green-e, which was introduced by addenda in mid 2012 independent of GOs.
I thought there would be a more streamlined compliance path based on the full official ACP rating system from 2014, with either EKOenergy or GOs; and having less to demonstrate when we use GOs.
