Why do companies procure New Zealand I-RECs?
New Zealand I-RECs enable credible renewable electricity claims within New Zealand for compliance purposes. These I-RECs are used to:
Report market-based Scope 2 emissions
Possible or mandatory under reporting standards like GHG Protocol, CDP, RE100, SBTI, and more.
Satisfy investor ESG mandates
Meet institutional investor requirements and sustainability fund eligibility criteria to qualify for funding at better terms.
Meet customer demand for sustainability
Back defensible renewable electricity claims with registry-verified, audit-ready cancellations.
Fund renewable generation
Channel capital to renewable energy producers through certificate revenue streams, making further construction more economically viable.

New Zealand has four registered I-REC facilities producing 479 GWh against a grid that is 80% renewable, yet extremely high redemption rates mean corporate demand consistently outpaces supply. Soldera's intelligent procurement dashboard gives you the visibility to act ahead of the market rather than competing for what's left.
