Impact of RECs
Provided by ENGIE Resources
Our suite of sustainability solutions helps customers make dramatic contributions to the low carbon transition. Illustrated below is the impact made possible through Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). Our first record of a REC dates back to 2007. Since then, demand has grown exponentially and we now offer RECs representing hydro, wind, solar, landfill, and “any source.” RECs have sequestered more than 24,052,386 metric tons of carbon.
