Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin

Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO) are certificates that prove a specific amount of electricity was generated from renewable sources, like wind or solar. Each certificate represents one megawatt-hour of renewable energy. They help ensure transparency in the energy market, allowing consumers and businesses to choose green energy. When you buy energy backed by REGOs, you can be confident that it comes from sustainable sources. This system supports the growth of renewable energy by encouraging investment and helping to reduce carbon emissions, as it promotes accountability in how energy is produced and consumed.
