Renewable Energy Certificates Registry


The Renewable Energy Certificates Registry is an internet-based registry system established by the Australian Renewable Energy Act 2000, and maintained by the Clean Energy Regulator.
The REC-registry:
Prior to 1 January 2011, the primary mechanism in the renewable energy target was the renewable energy certificate. From 1 January 2011 RECs were split into small-scale technology certificates and large-scale generation certificates. RECs are still used as a general term covering both STCs and LGCs.
All certificates must be created in the REC-registry before they can be bought, sold, traded or surrendered. Participants must hold an account and be registered as a REC-registry user to create, view or transfer certificates.
