Renewable Energy Certificates: a
booming segment in the 100% renewable
energy market, the Renewable Energy
Certificates (RECs) allow demonstrating
that certain energy consumption comes
from clean sources, by tracing it, and
contribute to our customers' brand
positioning and the achievement of their
sustainability goals. Our certificates
are issued and registered on the
International REC Standard (I-REC)
platform and most of them are also
certified by REC Brazil, which ensures
compliance with sustainability criteria in
accordance with the UN's Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Carbon credits: they have become
an important mechanism to help
companies that have taken on goals
to reduce their emission of polluting
gases. Each ton of greenhouse gases
not released into the atmosphere can
generate a carbon credit.
Nine plants accredited with I- RECS
In order to sell I-RECS, we have accredited several of
our plants. The Água Vermelha Hydroelectric Power
Plant (SP), our largest hydropower plant, seven farms
at the Ventus (RN) and Alto Sertão II (BA) Wind Power
Complexes and one farm at Ouroeste Solar Power
Complex have been accredited by the international
tracking platform I-REC Standard. Furthermore, 7 of these
9 farms also have the REC Brazil certificate. Considered
an I-REC, this certificate assures our customers that the
plant meets the criteria of additionality, according to UN's
Sustainable Development Goals.
