Renewable Energy Certificates (Monthly Subscription)

€7.05 per MWh / month

A typical US household uses 1,000 kWh of electricity each month. You can support renewable energy generation equal to your home’s electricity use by purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates. This subscription works automatically each month, starting at 1,000 kWh. You can update your quantity or cancel anytime.

Each REC purchase supports 1,000 kWh of renewable generation from wind, solar, or hydroelectric facilities on the US grid. You receive a Terrapass Certificate of Purchase displaying your contribution to renewable energy and Terrapass retires RECs for your purchase.

RECs represent the environmental attributes of renewable energy generation; they do not mean the electricity powering your home comes from a renewable source.

How to Purchase Personal RECs Subscription

Start with a recurring subscription of 1 MWh per month or check your utility bill and adjust the monthly quantity to match your home’s electricity usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do RECS work?

By purchasing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), you are supporting clean energy and displacing emissions associated with fossil fuel powered electric generation. For a one time purchase, we’ve done the calculation for you—the average US household consumes about 11,000 kilowatt hours (kWH), which is the same as 11 Megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity annually. Learn more about national energy use through the Energy Information Administration..

How do carbon offsets work?

Terrapass carbon offsets neutralize your carbon footprint by funding projects like reforestation, farm power and landfill gas capture, which all remove carbon emissions. Every 1,000 lbs you purchase destroys greenhouse gases equivalent to 1,000 lbs of carbon dioxide. That's like taking one car off the road for an entire month.

What’s the difference between a REC and a carbon offset?

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets are both instruments that represent a quantifiable environmental benefit associated with an activity. A REC represents the environmental attributes derived from 1 megawatt-hour of renewable energy generation. A carbon offset represents the prevention or sequestration of 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions. If you are interested in learning more about RECs, contact us today!

How does Terrapass ensure that its offset projects are really making a difference?

Terrapass ensures our offsets are making a difference in several ways. Prior to adding a project to our portfolio we perform due diligence to fully understand the impact of each project. Once the project is in our portfolio we monitor and verify all of the emissions reductions that are taking place. Finally all projects in our portfolio must pass the “additionality” test. Additionality refers to the concept of whether your carbon offset purchase really brings about carbon reductions, or whether the reductions would have happened anyway. If the purchase of carbon offsets is a critical factor in making the reductions happen, the reductions are said to be “additional” to the business-as-usual case. By verifying and checking at each step in the process we are committed to making sure our projects are clearing the air.
