What Are Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)?
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent the environmental attributes of clean energy that is generated. Every 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean electricity generated by a solar system equates to 1 REC.
These certificates are purchased by companies looking to offset carbon emissions and meet ESG targets — while allowing solar panel system owners to earn from their solar PV system without affecting their savings from electricity generation.

In Malaysia, owners of solar plants or solar rooftop assets can sell RECs, provided they are not part of the LSS scheme. Other schemes such as Solar ATAP, NEM, SELCO, and FiT also permit REC sales. If you are unsure about your eligibility, reach out to us for assistance in verifying your solar asset's credentials.
RECs are still a relatively new asset class, and are purchased by MNCs or large corporations to achieve their net zero targets. Prices of RECs in the market are determined by these factors:
- Number of buyers
- Volume of RECs they would like to purchase
- Supply of RECs from renewable energy sources available.
In Malaysia, Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) are priced at approximately 47 MYR per megawatt-hour (equivalent to approximately 5 – 6 USD per megawatt-hour). These RECs are offered as bundled mRECs (mGATS RECs) through the mGATS platform for customers of TNB (the national utility provider).
A renewable energy certificate (REC) validates and quantifies the environmental benefits of generating electricity from renewable sources. It allows individuals and businesses to claim that a portion of their electricity consumption supports renewable energy generation, aiding in sustainability efforts and reducing carbon footprints.
RECs also help comply with regulatory requirements and voluntary standards related to renewable energy targets. Financially, RECs provide revenue for renewable energy producers, promoting investment in renewable energy projects and technologies.
