What are I-RECs?

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.
