Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), often referred to as "Renewable Energy Credits" are generated from renewable energy sources in the U.S. RECs represent the environmental attributes of power that are generated from renewable energy projects and provided to the grid.
