What are renewable energy certificates and how do they work?

Edwina Marchant

Renewable energy certificates are like special stickers that show that someone used clean energy for their electricity.

When you use electricity, it usually comes from a power plant. Some power plants use things like coal or gas to make electricity. These things are not good for the environment.

But some power plants use things like wind or solar power to make electricity. These are called renewable energy sources because they never run out. They also don't hurt the environment as much.

When someone chooses to use electricity from renewable sources, they get a renewable energy certificate. It's like a special sticker that they can put on their electricity bill.

The certificate shows that they used clean energy for their electricity. It also helps encourage more people to use clean energy.

Companies can also buy renewable energy certificates. If they can't use clean energy for all their electricity, they can buy certificates to show they helped support clean energy.

It's kind of like buying a sticker to help out the environment.

So, renewable energy certificates are a way to show that someone used clean energy. It also helps support more use of clean energy.
