Brazil’s large share of installed renewable energy capacity and culture of commitment to clean energy goals make it the largest international renewable energy certificate (I-REC) market in Latin America. Demand for Brazil I-RECs grew 25% just from 2023 to 2024.
Brazil I-RECs can also have an add-on called the “REC Brazil seal” that buyers can opt to purchase if they wish to deepen their positive environmental impact. This seal certifies that the source power plant meets at least five of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
I-RECs can be sourced forward up to three years.
