Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) provide corporations and institutions a convenient way to purchase renewable energy, offset carbon emissions and encourage new clean energy development. The benefits to corporations, institutions and the environment include:

• Helping to fight climate change by reducing your corporation's carbon footprint
• Building stronger stakeholder relationships with customers, investors, employees and the community
• Strengthening your brand image and increasing competitive advantage
• Promoting your sustainability efforts and environmental responsibility
• Supporting both existing and future demand for clean renewable energy development by making it more cost-competitive
• Assuring that more certified renewable energy is delivered to the power grid, thus requiring less fossil fuel sources to power our country's energy needs
