Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC)

Operating via the The I-TRACK Foundation , International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) are the predominant international EAC, and can be accessed via the Evident registry or Virtual Accounts. Unlike other EACs , they never expire. They must be redeemed in the same market where the energy was generated and are equal to one megawatt-hour of renewable generation. I-RECs are issued by local issuers: all I-REC issuers are published by Evident , as well as a list of I-REC(E) participants .
