Renewable Energy Certificates- Empowering you to make a difference.

Renewable Energy Certificates -RECs known as Green tags, Renewable Energy Credits, Renewable Electricity Certificates, or Tradable Renewable Certificates-TRCs are tradable, non-tangible energy commodities that represent proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from an eligible renewable energy resource (renewable electricity).Once in the grid, renewable energy is impossible to separate from the conventionally generated energy. This makes purchasing of a REC equal to purchasing a claim, that the REC owner consumed energy from the renewable portion of the whole energy in the grid


This gives ordinary citizens no matter where they are in the United States of America the power to do their part and ensure clean Renewable Energy is in the the National Grid and therefore ensuring we save our planet. Today persons can purchase a REC and every month ensure not only they help the planet but help make lives better.Customers can buy green certificates whether or not they have access to green power through their local utility or a competitive electricity marketer. And they can purchase green certificates without having to switch electricity suppliers.

Renewable energy facilities generate renewable energy credits (RECs) when they produce electricity. Purchasing these credits is the widely accepted way to reduce the environmental harmful consumption of electricity and help fund renewable energy projects. Each certificate represents all of the environmentalattributes or benefits of a specific quantity of renewable generation, namely the benefits that everyone receives when conventional fuels, such as coal, nuclear, oil, or gas, are displaced. What you pay for when you buy renewable energy certificates is the benefit of displacing other non-renewable sources from the electric grid. Purchasing RECs at the same quantity as your electricity consumption guarantees that the energy you use is added to the national power grid from a renewable energy facility and supports the advancement of these facilities.

Initiated by the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000; RECs - Renewable Energy Certificates, available when you buy qualifying solar hot water, solar/wind power systems or solar panels. In some regions, electricity markets have been deregulated and customers can choose an electricity provider OF their choice, other than their electric utility. Many of these competitive suppliers offer a renewable energy as well, so consumers now have a choice. Utility green pricing programs allow electric utility customers to choose to purchase some or all of their electricity from renewable energy technologies directly from their utility.
