What Are Renewable Energy Credits (RECs)?

Simple Definition

A Renewable Energy Credit (REC) represents proof that one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from a renewable energy source such as wind, solar, or hydro. When you buy a REC, you are supporting clean energy production and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
