Introduction

The transition to renewable energy is crucial for a sustainable future, and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) play a pivotal role in this shift.

As a market-based instrument, RECs incentivize the adoption of clean energy sources while providing businesses with opportunities to support green initiatives.

Financely Group is here to help you navigate this landscape and harness the benefits of RECs for your company.

What are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

RECs represent the environmental, social, and other non-power attributes of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated from renewable energy sources. They are created when renewable energy is produced and can be traded separately from the electricity itself.

This flexibility allows for the growth of a market that values the environmental benefits of renewable energy.

There are different types of RECs, each representing various renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, or biomass.
