Wind Renewable Energy Certificates (WRECs)

Wind Renewable Energy Certificates (WRECs) are proof that a specific amount of electricity—generated by wind power—has been produced and fed into the grid. When a wind farm generates power, it receives WRECs, which it can sell separately from the electricity itself. Buyers, like businesses or utilities, purchase WRECs to demonstrate they support renewable energy and to meet sustainability goals. Essentially, WRECs help track and promote the growth of wind energy, ensuring financial support for renewable projects and helping consumers and companies claim their greener energy use.
