Renewable Energy Credits: A Way to Encourage Green Energy

Do you wish to support the environment by using green energy? With renewable energy credits (RECs), you can accomplish that. Receipts of energy certificates (RECs) attest to the fact that you are using renewable energy sources, such as the sun and wind. RECs can be purchased from particular sites and used in conjunction with your electricity usage. 

In this way, even without solar or wind power, your electricity can be considered green. Purchasing RECs increases demand and funding for green energy projects, which in turn encourages the development of more of them. Read this article to learn more about RECs and how to purchase them.

Both the environment and you benefit from purchasing RECs. Among the advantages are: 

• You can support green energy and lessen your carbon footprint without installing a system or altering your utility.
• You can decide what kind of green electricity you need to help with—wind, solar, hydro, or biomass—and where to get it.
• Depending on what you want and can afford, you can buy RECs from applications, agents, or online platforms.
• Reclaimed energy certificates (RECs) can be used to fulfil renewable portfolio standards (RPS) or other green energy standards.
