What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is an internationally recognized document that certifies that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity has been generated from a renewable source such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass.

By purchasing RECs, companies can match their energy consumption with renewable energy production, even when the electricity they use comes from a mixed national grid.

How do RECs Work?

  • Renewable energy generation – Electricity is produced from a certified renewable source.
  • Issuance of certificates – For every 1 MWh generated, one REC is issued.
  • Purchase and allocation – Companies purchase RECs to match their electricity consumption.
  • Reporting and compliance – RECs are documented and used to reduce Scope 2 emissions in sustainability reports.

Who Needs RECs?

  • Multinational companies seeking to meet global sustainability requirements.

  • Export-oriented manufacturers complying with EU and international regulations.

  • Local businesses aiming to demonstrate corporate responsibility.

  • Organizations pursuing Net Zero and ESG commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

A Renewable Energy Certificate represents proof that 1 MWh of electricity has been produced from a renewable source.

 

No. Companies can directly purchase RECs without generating renewable energy themselves.

 

RECs cover electricity consumption (measured in MWh), while Carbon Offsets cover avoided emissions (measured in tons of CO₂).

 

The number depends on your total electricity consumption. We calculate the required RECs to fully cover your Scope 2 emissions.
