Buy I-RECsWhat Are I-RECs
International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) are tracking instruments that certify 1 MWh of electricity generated from renewable sources outside of North America and Europe. Issued under the I-REC Standard, they document key information such as generation date, location, and technology type, enabling companies to make renewable energy claims in emerging and voluntary markets.
Market Coverage
I-RECs are available in 68+ countries across Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania.This makes I-RECs the most common solution for renewable energy sourcing in regions without fully harmonized REC markets. While I-RECs are internationally recognized, to claim renewable electricity use in a specific country, companies must purchase I-RECs generated within that same country. We provide access to I-RECs from all active markets and can help you source certificates based on your location and goals.
I-RECs Generation Sources
I-RECs can be issued for electricity generated from various renewable technologies and are available on our Marketplace:
Solar
Wind
Hydropower (including small hydro)
Biomass
Geothermal
Why Companies Buy I-RECs
I-RECs are widely used by companies to demonstrate renewable electricity use in countries without established national certificate systems. They help reduce Scope 2 emissions and enable credible environmental claims aligned with international frameworks. We provide access to all types of EACs or you can request specific certificates not currently listed.
How to Get Started
You can source I-RECs directly through our Marketplace. Choose your country, volume, technology, vintage, labels—or tell us your goals, and we’ll help you find the best options.
Talk to the teamRetirement & Claiming Process
To make a renewable energy claim, an I-REC must be retired, meaning it is permanently removed from circulation and cannot be reused or resold. Retirement ensures that the environmental benefit is counted only once and is linked to the correct reporting period. Thanks to our integration with Evident, the official I-REC registry, the redemption process on our platform is easy and allows you to download redemption certificates directly.
Voluntary Schemes
I-RECs we provide are aligned with the requirements of all major voluntary schemes.
Ecolabels
The EKOenergy label verifies that the underlying renewable electricity meets extra sustainability criteria beyond basic I-REC requirements, helping companies strengthen their environmental commitments.
