What Are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are the underlying mechanism for claiming consumption of renewable energy. RECs support decarbonization compliance and can help you reduce your Scope 2 emissions with best-in-class practices through global accounting and reporting, bolstering renewable energy development, and relieving pressure from your shareholders. These internationally-recognized certificates support compliance by:

Adhering to global accounting and reporting frameworks
Bolstering renewable energy development
Relieving pressure from your stakeholders

Also known as other schemes around the world, RECs are internationally recognized, tradable instruments which prove that electricity has been generated from solar, wind or another renewable source. Each REC represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of renewable energy generation.

How Renewable Energy Certificates Work

Renewable Energy Certificates allow any end-user to claim the consumption of the associated renewable energy. Traceable, unique & unduplicable, RECs provide assurance as to the origin of electricity.

RECs have different names around the world:

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) globally
Guarantees of Origin (GOs) in Europe
Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGOs) in the United Kingdom
International Renewable Energy Certificates (I RECs)
Tradable Instruments for Global Renewables (TIGRs) in many other parts of the world
J-Credits and Non-Fossil Certificates (NFCs) in Japan
And several other kinds of national schemes
