Green-e Energy ® Certified Terrapass RECS

$8.00 MWh

Terrapass RECs is a Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy certificate product and does not contain electricity. A REC represents the environmental benefits of 1 megawatt hour of renewable energy that can be paired with electricity. The Green-e Energy National Standard is administered by the Center for Resource Solutions, an independent nonprofit, and covers how the certificates are tracked, verified, and retired, so they are never claimed by more than one buyer. This is the right choice if you need RECs that meet that standard for your own reporting or a customer requirement, since the certification and product content label give you documentation behind the purchase. A minimum purchase of 5 RECs (5 MWh or 5,000 kWh) is required.

You’ll receive a Certificate of Green-e Energy Certified REC Purchase displaying your contribution to renewable energy, RECs are retired on your behalf by Terrapass, and Terrapass processes your purchase in the annual Green-e Energy Verification Audit.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about Renewable Energy Certificates and how they compare to carbon offsets.

How do RECs work?

Each Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) represents the environmental attributes of 1 megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated from a renewable source, such as wind or solar, and delivered to the grid. When you buy RECs, you support renewable electricity generation and can match your own electricity use with renewable power.

For a one time purchase, we’ve done the math for you. The average US household uses about 11,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity a year, which equals about 11 MWh. Learn more about home energy use from the US Energy Information Administration.

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

Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets both represent a measurable environmental benefit, but they measure different things:

  • A REC represents the environmental attributes of 1 megawatt hour of renewable electricity generation. RECs are used to address the electricity you use.
  • A carbon offset represents 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions prevented or removed from the atmosphere. Offsets can be used to address emissions from almost any activity, such as driving, flying, or heating your home.

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

We check our projects at every stage. Before adding a project to our portfolio, we perform due diligence to fully understand its impact. Once a project is in our portfolio, its emission reductions are monitored and verified by accredited, independent third parties.

Every project must also pass the “additionality” test. Additionality asks whether your carbon offset purchase actually brings about reductions, or whether those reductions would have happened anyway. If carbon offset funding is a critical factor in making the reductions happen, they are considered “additional” to what would have happened under business as usual.
