What Are Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)?

Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are the underlying mechanism for claiming consumption of renewable energy and can help you reduce your Scope 2 emissions with best-in-class practices. These internationally-recognized certificates support compliance by:

Adhering to global accounting and reporting frameworks
Bolstering renewable energy development
Relieving pressure from your stakeholders

Also known as Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) as well as other schemes around the world, EACs are internationally recognized, tradable instruments which prove that electricity has been generated from solar, wind or another renewable source. Each EAC represents the environmental benefits of 1MWh of renewable energy generation.

How Energy Attribute Certificates Work

Energy Attribute Certificates, commonly referred to as Renewable Energy Certificates in North America, allow any end-user to claim the consumption of the associated renewable energy. Traceable, unique & unduplicable, EACs provide assurance as to the origin of electricity.

EACs have different names around the world:

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) in North America
Guarantees of Origin (GOs) in Europe
Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGOs) in the United Kingdom
International Renewable Energy Certificates (I RECs)
Tradable Instruments for Global Renewables (TIGRs) in many other parts of the world
J-Credits and Non-Fossil Certificates (NFCs) in Japan
And several other kinds of national schemes
