What is REC?

A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) represents 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated from solar, wind, or hydropower.

 

RECs allow businesses to:

  • Track environmental attributes

  • Demonstrate clean energy usage

  • Support renewable energy development

  • Meet ESG, CSR, and global sustainability requirements

 

RECs are an essential tool for companies seeking credible, traceable, and internationally recognised clean energy impact.

The Mechanics of RECs: How They Drive Clean Energy

1

Generation & Issuance

A REC is issued for every MWh of certified renewable electricity produced.

2

Tracking & Verification

Each REC is fully traceable through recognised registries, ensuring transparency and authenticity.

3

Separation & Trade

Environmental attributes are separated from physical electricity, enabling businesses to purchase and retire RECs anytime.

4

Grid Expansion

Purchasing RECs directly supports new renewable energy capacity in Vietnam and across the region.

1

Generation & Issuance

For every MWh of renewable energy produced, a REC is issued, documenting its source and environmental attributes.

2

System Design

Each REC is trackable, providing verifiable proof of clean energy generation, ensuring transparency and accountability.

3

Separation & Trade

RECs separate the environmental attributes from the physical electricity, allowing businesses to purchase and retire RECs.

4

Grid Expansion

Purchasing RECs supports grid-scale renewable energy expansion.

FAQs

A REC is a certificate that represents the renewable attributes of electricity generated from solar. It helps organisations claim renewable electricity usage in a credible, trackable way.
In most REC systems, 1 REC = 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated. The number you need usually depends on how much electricity you want to cover with renewable claims.
No. RECs are commonly used when an organisation wants to support renewable energy and make renewable electricity claims without installing onsite solar, or while waiting for a solar project to be implemented.
RECs help companies in Vietnam prove and document renewable electricity usage for sustainability reporting, especially useful for manufacturers and exporters serving global customers. They can support Scope 2 (electricity-related) reporting, supplier ESG requirements, and initiatives like RE100-aligned renewable electricity targets, even if onsite solar is not yet available.
RECs represent renewable electricity attributes (linked to electricity generation). Carbon credits represent emissions reductions or removals (often measured as 1 tonne of CO₂e). They are different tools and are used for different reporting and sustainability purposes.
Credible RECs are typically issued, tracked, and retired with unique identifiers so the same certificate can’t be claimed twice. When you buy RECs, you should receive documentation that shows the certificates were properly retired on your behalf.
