What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) makes it possible for businesses and individuals to claim the environmental benefits of clean energy, without needing to be physically connected to a renewable source. Each REC represents the positive impact of 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated from renewable sources like solar or hydropower. Think of it as a trusted “green badge” that verifies your commitment to sustainability.
