Understanding Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)
At Pacific Summit Energy LLC, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your sustainability objectives. Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) are crucial in advancing toward a sustainable energy future.
EACs are market-based instruments certifying that the bearer has ownership of one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity generated from renewable sources. These certificates are essential for promoting renewable energy production and ensuring transparency and accountability in energy consumption.
Global Reach of EAC Systems
EACs are globally recognized and adapted to meet various regional and national regulatory requirements. The primary EAC systems include:
Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)
International REC (I-REC)
Tradable Instrument for Global Renewables (TIGR)
Guarantee of Origin (GO)
Other National Systems
US Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
In the United States, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are pivotal in both Voluntary and Compliance markets. The Voluntary market enables businesses and individuals to acquire RECs to fulfill their sustainability goals, while the Compliance market operates under Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS), which mandate a specific percentage of electricity from renewable sources.
Pacific Summit Energy LLC also offers Green-e Certified RECs, which are third-party verified to meet stringent environmental standards established by the Center for Resource Solutions. Learn More at Green-E | Powering a Renewable future.
Meeting Diverse Needs with EACs
We provide a range of EACs, including US Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), Tradable Instruments for Global Renewables (TIGRs), and other national systems such as Non-Fossil Certificates (NFCs) in Japan.
Our solutions are designed to support a wide array of sustainability commitments, including alignment with global initiatives such as RE100, the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
