About The REC Center

Community Green Energy has created the REC Center to help you understand what you are buying when you purchase a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC), and the important role RECs play in promoting renewable green energy in America and in building public awareness of the role renewable green energy will play in America’s energy future.

Take a moment to learn about the history of RECs, how carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases contribute to the growing problem of global climate change, and how you can use your REC purchase as the first step in minimizing the environmental impact of your life and lifestyle.

We will update this site with information about Community Green Energy and the benefits to local communities that your REC purchase will help us accomplish. We welcome visitors with a commitment to creating a more carbon-free country to register and share their stories here as well. All we require of contributors is that you be respectful and polite in their posts.
