renewable energy certificates

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are tradable digital documents that verify a specific amount of electricity was generated from renewable sources like wind or solar. When a renewable energy facility produces electricity, it earns RECs representing its clean energy contribution. Organizations or individuals can buy these RECs to support renewable energy and claim environmental benefits, even if they don’t produce the energy themselves. Essentially, RECs serve as proof and a financial incentive for increasing renewable energy use, helping to promote cleaner energy production while allowing consumers to offset their carbon footprint.
