Why does it matter?

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are crucial because they act as a currency for the renewable energy market, enabling individuals and organizations to support clean energy and reduce their carbon footprint. They facilitate the decoupling of the environmental benefits of renewable energy from the physical electricity, allowing for the purchase of these benefits even if the energy itself isn’t directly sourced from renewable sources. This incentivizes the development of renewable energy projects and promotes the transition to a more sustainable energy system.
