What is Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal can be registered as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) through internationally recognised registries. These REC renewable energy solutions help businesses track and certify their green energy usage.

A REC is a type of Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC), where 1 MWh of renewable energy is converted into 1 REC, allowing companies to offset emissions and contribute to sustainability goals.

In Asia, I-REC and APX TIGRs are widely accepted registries for renewable certificates, enabling businesses in Malaysia and other countries to register renewable energy projects and trade RECs energy efficiently.

Meanwhile, countries like Taiwan (T-REC), Japan (J-Credit), and China (GEC) have their own national-based registries to issue green energy certificates and promote certified renewable energy projects within their borders.

Affiliated with RE100, LEED, and Green Mark Certification

If your organisation is part of different initiatives, then you would need to comply with the local initiatives’ rules.

Example, under RE100, you are required to purchase local renewable energy certificates (RECs) for your local energy consumption to offset Scope 2 emission.

In Singapore, with SS673 generally you can purchase Southeast Asia RECs to offset Scope 2 Emission due to scarcity of Singapore RECs.

Let us know you are part of which initiatives and we will provide you with relevant renewable energy certificates (RECs).

Reasons Companies Purchase RECs

Companies purchase renewable energy certificates (RECs), to offset their Scope 2 emissions, which consist of energy consumption for offices, factory or any other premises.

It is to achieve Sustainability Goal Scope 2 Emission on Renewable Energy.

Purchasing RECs is part of corporation’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts.

Energy purchased from Electricity Retailer mostly are brown energy. So, you can buy and redeem RECs separately to achieve your sustainability goal.

Once redeemed, these RECs cannot be transferred to anyone.

From there, these RECs can be included in your sustainability report of supporting Renewable Energy and offset Scope 2 emission.

How are Renewable Energy Credits Created?

Renewable energy credits (RECs), also known as REC credits or renewable credits, are created when a renewable energy source—such as solar or wind—generates one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity and transmits it to the grid. For example, if a wind power station produces 5 MWh of electricity, it earns five renewable energy credits to retain or sell.

If you or your business purchases those REC credits, you are buying the “renewable” portion of the wind farm’s power output—and may claim that 5 MWh of your electricity came from a renewable source.

A renewable credit that has been sold cannot be acquired again. Each credit is uniquely numbered and often includes metadata such as location of origin, type of renewable resource, and generation date. These transactions—including those involving Singapore RECs—are tracked and verified through trusted registries to ensure transparency and authenticity.

What is the Difference between Renewable Energy Credits and Carbon Credits?

There are some differences between carbon credits and renewable energy credits. To encourage the use of green energy, renewable energy credits show the environmental effects of one megawatt-hour of power produced from renewable sources. Tracking and rewarding the use of renewable energy, renewable energy certificates (RECs) are measured in units of electricity and can be used in both voluntary and enforcement markets.

And carbon credits, which are measured in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, are won by doing projects that get rid of or lower greenhouse gas pollution. More than just green energy projects, reforestation, and energy saving are covered by these benefits. While carbon credits are traded on carbon markets, they offer cash rewards for actions that help lower greenhouse gas emissions generally. Carbon credits cover a wider range of actions that aim to reduce climate change by lowering carbon loads, while renewable energy certificates (RECs) focus on using green energy.

What are the Benefits of Buying Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are traceable as they have a unique serial number that may be used to validate claims and ensure that they are only sold and redeemed once
Supports the renewable energy market by signaling the need for increased renewable energy generation
Encourages the production of renewable energy that emits no greenhouse gases from fossil sources
Reducing your carbon footprint
Utilise renewable energy without having to pay for solar panel installation
Showcasing a company’s dedication to environmental responsibility through the incorporation of certified renewable energy into its energy portfolio

Offsetting Scope 2 Emissions with RECs

Scope 2 emissions refer to the indirect greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the consumption of purchased electricity, steam, heating, or cooling. One of the most straightforward and effective ways to offset Scope 2 emissions is through RECs renewable energy solutions.

To begin, simply check your electricity bill to determine your total energy usage (in kWh or MWh).
Then, purchase the equivalent number of renewable energy certificates—1 REC = 1 MWh of clean, renewable electricity.
Finally, redeem your RECs to certify your environmental impact.

Once redeemed, you can officially report your contribution to RECs energy generation in your sustainability reports, demonstrating your support for renewable energy and commitment to carbon accountability.
