Transform your renewable energy into sustainable income streams
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are the global standard for tracking and trading renewable energy attributes.
RECs are certificates that prove clean electricity was generated from renewable sources. Each certificate represents one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable energy generation.
They provide a transparent, standardized way to track renewable energy attributes and enable companies to support clean energy development worldwide.
Companies or individuals can buy RECs to support renewable energy projects and offset their electricity consumption with clean energy attributes.
When you purchase RECs, you're directly supporting renewable energy development and can claim the environmental benefits of that clean energy generation.
Why companies and individuals choose REC certificates
The REC market has experienced exponential growth worldwide, expanding to Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. RECs are now available for solar, wind, hydro, and biomass technologies.
REC adoption in Africa is rising rapidly, driven by increasing renewable energy capacity, growing corporate sustainability initiatives, and government support for sustainable development.
