Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)

There are several renewable energy supply options that provide a path to achieve your company’s renewable energy goals, including the purchase from, and support of renewable energy facilities, and leveraging national wind and/or solar sourced RECs.

Any purchase of NewMix^® RECs is sourced from renewable generating facilities located within the continental United States. RECs can be purchased as a block, or as a percentage, of your electricity supply.

Customer Benefits

The purchase of NewMix^® RECs demonstrates your commitment to environmental responsibility and supports your company’s goals. In addition you can point to –

• supporting the demand for new, clean, wind and/or solar power 
• matching a designated percentage of your annual electricity use¹ 
• making environmental claims about a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions associated with your annual electricity use, also known as “Scope 2” emissions 

RECs supplied by Constellation are Green-e^® Energy Certified and sourced from wind and/or solar energy facilities located in the lower 48 states. Throughout the term of the contract, you can match any percentage of your annual electricity supply at your facilities with RECs.

Each REC represents the positive environmental attributes of one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated by a renewable power plant and is retired on behalf of customers wishing to promote their environmental commitment. The purchase of RECs supports facilities that generate clean, renewable energy.

¹ Your agreement will outline specific designated percentages of annual electricity usage matched with RECs.
