Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
A REC represents the environmental attributes of 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated from renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, biomass and others. You can purchase RECs to match some or all of your electricity usage, allowing you to find the best combination to help reach your sustainability goals. RECs can range in price based on resource, generation date and location. When you purchase RECs, you can feel good knowing that you are supporting renewable energy generation.
