North American Renewable Energy Certificates (Voluntary & Compliance)

NA Voluntary RECs are the newest addition to the CC.info catalogue. Historically, RECs in the US have focused on RPS standards, with utilities playing a dominant role. Now, with more corporates showing increased interest in RECs, it has created a need for a clear outlook on demand-supply and pricing. Our Voluntary RECs product provides short-term commentaries, REC data, and a long-term fundamental demand-supply and pricing outlook for the REC market. We act as a guide for corporates in strategizing to limit costs whilst meeting global standards, and also advising on the long-term prospects of investing in the US REC market.

International Renewable Energy Certificates

The iREC standard has recently emerged as a common benchmark for Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) for sustainability and transparency, responding to the need for a globally recognized and standardized approach.
