Purpose-built platform for EACs
CerQlar makes the management of energy attribute certificates simpler and more accurate, with a range of core modules and features that save time for operations teams, reduce the risk of errors, and support better portfolio management decisions.
Spreadsheets and ETRM modules aren’t made for EACs
Relying on spreadsheets and ETRM modules to manage EACs wastes hundreds of hours each month and puts your company at risk.
Duplicate admin
Keeping spreadsheets, systems, and multiple registry accounts in sync eats up hours your team could spend on higher-value work.
Outdated data
When your data lives across multiple systems, your team makes trades and certificate allocations based on incomplete, outdated information.
Frequent mistakes
Manually tracking inventories, contract obligations, and transactions makes mistakes inevitable, increasing your risk exposure.

Frequently asked questions
Find answers to common questions below or simply get in touch and we’ll get back to you.
Does CerQlar integrate with ETRM or CTRM platforms?
Yes. You can sync trade data directly from your ETRM or CTRM into CerQlar via API, ensuring your EAC data is always consistent across your systems without manual re-entry. You can also upload trade data via Excel if your ETRM or CTRM does not have an API. This means CerQlar fits into your existing tech stack while adding the EAC-specific capabilities that ETRMs and CTRMs aren’t built to provide.
How long does it take to deploy CerQlar?
You receive a CerQlar account the moment your contract is signed, and most clients are up and running within a few weeks. You can set your go-live date based on when you’re ready to transition your existing workflows to CerQlar, and our team will be there every step of the way to ensure a smooth implementation.
What support does CerQlar offer?
CerQlar’s team provides support throughout the onboarding process and on an ongoing basis once you’re up and running. During onboarding, a dedicated specialist will walk your team through the setup and configuration process, including live training sessions and advice on customizing fields and workflows to suit your operations.
Once you’re live, you’ll be assigned a Customer Success Manager (CSM) who serves as your main point of contact for ongoing support and to help you get the most out of CerQlar.
How does pricing work?
CerQlar is a subscription-based SaaS platform with multiple plan options to suit your needs. All plans are billed annually. As part of your plan, you’re invited to contribute to the product roadmap through interviews and feedback sessions.

Stay up to date with the latest regulatory requirements on our Insights page.
How is managing certificates on CerQlar different from using ETRMs or spreadsheets?
Unlike spreadsheets and ETRMs, which must be updated manually after every transaction, CerQlar connects to 30+ registries to give your teams a single source of truth for your EAC portfolio data, including your inventory, transaction log, and generation assets.
Automated workflows replace manual processes to speed up work for your operations team, while advanced data validation, matching, and allocation tools help ensure maximum accuracy.
