What Is the I-REC Standard?

The International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC) Standard is a globally recognized tracking system for documenting and verifying the production of renewable electricity. Each I-REC represents proof that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from renewable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, or biomass.

For businesses aiming to reduce carbon emissions and meet ESG or RE100 targets, I-RECs provide a reliable and internationally accepted tool to claim renewable energy use, no matter where the energy is sourced.
