Renewable energy certificate (REC and EAC) tenders
Public bodies buy energy attribute certificates to back a claim that the electricity they use is renewable. In North America the instrument is the renewable energy certificate or REC, in Europe the guarantee of origin, and in many other markets the I-REC. Some buyers tender the certificates on their own, matched to their annual consumption; others ask for them bundled with an electricity supply contract, or require the supplier to retire them on the buyer's behalf.
The detail that decides these tenders is the specification of the certificate. Buyers may require a particular technology, a production country or region, a production year that matches consumption, new rather than old generation capacity, or a label that sets extra criteria. Retirement in the buyer's name and evidence suitable for emissions reporting under the market-based method of the GHG Protocol are normal requirements.
Certificate tenders are published less often than electricity supply contracts, so this page also shows recently closed ones. They are a reliable guide to timing, since buyers tend to repeat the purchase on an annual cycle.

Frequently asked
What is the difference between a REC, a GO and an I-REC?
All three certify that one megawatt hour of electricity came from a renewable source. RECs are used mainly in North America, guarantees of origin in Europe, and I-RECs in many other markets.
Do public buyers tender certificates separately from electricity?
Some do, matched to their annual consumption. Others require the electricity supplier to provide and retire certificates as part of a supply contract.
What evidence do buyers ask for?
Retirement in the buyer's name on the relevant registry, details of technology, location and production period, and documentation suitable for market-based emissions reporting.
