Renewable energy certificates (RECs) certify the bearer owns one megawatt-hour (MWh) of zero-carbon electricity that has been generated by renewable energy sources and delivered to the power grid.
Solar renewable energy certificates, or SRECs, are simply RECs that are explicitly generated from solar power. When state legislators set their renewable portfolio standards, some specify that a certain percentage of the energy mix comes from solar, often called a "solar carve-out....
We find that a 1% (1c€) increase in the incentive (tariff) leads to an increase in renewable generation of 0.4–1% (18–26%). Feed-in tariffs appear to outperform tradable green certificates. Overall, the analysis shows that these policies have been effective in promoting renewable energy,...
Renewable Energy Credits, also called Green tags or Tradable Renewable Certificates, are certificates issued by a government agency to a power company that utilizes environmentally friendly methods to generate electricity. The credits can in turn be traded and sold on the open market, providing an ...
Leverkusen/Germany –Covestrohas recently announced that four of its U.S. sites have reached net-zero Scope 2 electricity emissions through the allocation of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). This achievement is a result of Covestro's existing virtual Power Purchase Agreem...
Solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) are performance-based solar incentives that allow you to earn additional income from your home’s solar energy production. As a homeowner, you can earn one SREC for every megawatt-hour (MWh), or 1,000-kilowatt hours (kWh), of electricity your solar...

It is important to differentiate between renewable energy carbon offsets andrenewable energy certificates(RECs). Carbon offsets are measured by tonne of carbon (or carbon dioxide equivalent); RECs represent one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated from a renewable energy source. As renewable...
Step 4: Know Your Renewable Energy Certificates We offset 100% of your electricity consumption with renewable energy certificates. In this effort, the certificates play a very important role in matching the energy used in your home to that supplied through renewable sources. The certificates assure ...
researchers from Concordia University in Montreal were tasked with studying current voluntary practices. (Much of this work has already been published, such as “Renewable energy certificates allow companies to overstate their emissions reductions,” by Bjorn et al in Nature on June 9.) That phase ...
