We’d like to wait to pursue the option for off-site renewable energy until after the results of the preliminary review. Is it ok to pursue this credit after the preliminary review is complete or as an appeal should we need additional points?

Hello. In the "credit language" above is precised : " Projects in Europe may use the following approved standards in place of Green-e Energy: - EKOenergy - Guarantees of Origin (GOs) with additional parameters" What is meant by additional parameters? My client, in France, has subscribed, for its site, for 1200 guarantees of Origins Certificates from EDF, the French national electric company. The certificates are delivered by a third party company : POWERNEXT. In that case, what are the additional parameters i have to prove to show compliance with EA c4? The Powernext process of certification ? Thank you very much by advance.
