Supplier Fee Structure

Welcome to the Granular Registry's SSS Module Supplier Access page. As part of Clean Incentive, Inc., we enable utilities and retail suppliers to verify and allocate Standard Supply Service (SSS) attributes, including retired Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), supplier-specific emission factors (SSEFs), and Carbon-Free Energy (CFE) calculations. Our platform supports transparent Scope 2 compliance under GHG Protocol guidelines, with tools to refine public estimates and distribute granular claims to your customers.

Our tiered freemium model balances accessibility with scalable value, especially for multi-state operations. Fees focus on third-party verification and customer allocation services; standard Registry fees apply separately for GC issuance (e.g., enhancing RPS RECs). Verification is handled per state/jurisdiction to ensure regional accuracy.

Why Choose Our SSS Module Access?​

  • Enhance Compliance and Marketing: Certified CFE and emissions factors position you as a sustainability leader, attracting corporate customers with auditable data.
  • Streamline Customer Allocations: Automate pro-rata GC distributions via white-labeled portals or direct invites to the Registry, saving time on data collection, calculations, and audits for both you and your customers.
  • Save on Audits and Operations: Our audited platform handles methodology-driven workflows, reducing your internal expenses while enabling seamless Scope 2 reporting for end-users.
  • Adapt to Granular Rules: Prepare for hourly matching with verified, time-stamped attributes across jurisdictions.

Our Tiered Pricing Model​

Free Tier: Explore Public Estimates​

Cost: $0
Ideal for suppliers testing the platform or in data-scarce regions.
Included Features:

  • Automated public SSS estimates (retired RECs, SSEFs, CFE) for your supplier/state combinations, based on our transparent methodology using regulatory filings and certificate-tracking reports.
  • Basic annual reports with pro-rata calculations and uncertainty flags.
  • Access to our data catalogue for self-service insights.

This tier provides a no-risk entry point for evaluating estimates. Upgrade for verification and customer tools. (No GC issuance or allocations.)

Verified Tier: Certified Verification and Calculations​

Cost: $10,000 base annual fee (or $2,500 per verification event) + $0.002 per MWh of SSS retail sales verified per state/jurisdiction
For suppliers seeking independent audits to calculate CFE and emissions factors.
Included Features (All Free Tier benefits, plus):

  • Third-party audit of submitted data per state, including REC retirements, non-RPS zero-carbon resources, CFE percentages, and SSEFs—aligned with our methodology.
  • Certified outputs stamped for regulatory and customer use, with Jupyter notebooks for traceability.
  • Easy API access for internal integrations and basic reporting.

This tier ensures compliant, auditable calculations without customer allocation capabilities—upgrade to Premium for distribution tools.

Premium Tier: Full Allocations and Customer Enablement​

Cost: $25,000 base annual fee (or $5,000 per verification event) + $0.005 per MWh of SSS retail sales verified per state/jurisdiction
For suppliers ready to allocate attributes to all customers and provide turnkey services.
Included Features (All Verified Tier benefits, plus):
