Bus/Financial - Energy / Power Generation
Swedish term or phrase: elcerten
På den gröna sedan är volymerna (dock lägre intäkter p g a lägre courtage) från elcerten i nivå med tidigare år.
Intäkterna från s k ursprungsmärkt el har dock tappat över 1,0 mkr på första halvåret jämfört med fjolåret.
Anledningen står att finna i att marknaden (frivillig sådan) dramatiskt har minskat.

Explanation:
I think I would most likely use "electricity" in full. Google hits for "elcertificate" seem to be mainly Nordic in origin, while the full "electricity certificate" is used in documents originating in other countries, see EU reference.

agree  freekfluweel: Should be written in full. The Swedes tend to shorten anything electrical with "el" with no hyphen whatsoever (elklammer/elbleck/elkontruktör/elleverans/eletc.) However for a foreigner hardly to grasp!
