RECs for your Business

greenpowerpartnership

Some businesses and organizations are not able to switch their electric supply to Clean Currents wind power. For these cases, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) can play an important role. RECs can be purchased separately from your electric bill to balance (offset) your energy consumption. 

The environmental benefits of RECs can be used to offset the negative carbon footprint of your company’s or organization’s polluting activities. Each REC that is produced is associated with 1000KWh of renewable energy produced, which displaces carbon-emitting energy. One wind power REC offsets approximately 1350 lbs. of Carbon Dioxide. As a result, it is one of the preferred “carbon offset” mechanisms for businesses and organizations due to the transparency in their production, measurement, and tracking.

Purchasers of RECs provide renewable energy project owners with a revenue stream that supplements the revenue they secure from the sale of the project’s electricity. These additional revenues improve renewable energy project economics, increasing competitiveness with fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.
