Renewable Energy Credits

The Value and Importance 

RECs give you an immediate, simple and cost-effective way to both offset your carbon footprint and/or meet your regulatory requirements. One REC equals 1 MWh (megawatt hour) of electricity generated and delivered to the grid from a renewable energy resource. Electricity cannot be considered renewable without a REC to substantiate and validate it.

How It Works for You

How RECs May Work for You

Because the physical electricity we receive through the utility grid says nothing of its origin or how it was generated, RECs play an important role in accounting, tracking, and assigning ownership to renewable electricity generation and use. 

Immediate Benefit

RECs create an immediate and simple way to offset your carbon footprint or meet any regulatory requirements.

Flexible Terms

RECs are the accepted legal instrument through which renewable energy generation and use claims are substantiated in the U.S. renewable electricity market. These RECs offer flexible and customizable terms with no long-term commitments.
