Also known as Renewable Energy Credits (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.
EACs are a cost-effective and adaptable way to reduce your organization’s carbon footprint and achieve your sustainability goals. An EAC beneficiary can claim the use of renewable energy and its associated environmental benefits. It can also demonstrate their commitment to renewable energy generation while stimulating the development of renewable power projects worldwide. EACs offer:
A fast and reliable way to reduce Scope 2 emissions, with precise visibility on the impact of your company’s action.
Most reliable way to track and claim the renewable attributes associated with energy production.
No exposure to the volatility of power prices means no financial risk and visibility on final costs
Variety and transparency in selecting a renewable energy source
Ability to signal demand for renewable energy technologies and support their advancement
