Description

This short paper was derived from a major report funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy and Renewable Energy (EERE). It discusses the benefits to be derived in the form of renewable energy certificates (RECs) awarded for generating electric power from renewable energy sources. Their flexibility and international acceptance makes RECs the currency of the renewable international power markets. The size and potential value of US REC markets is estimated and key issues and challenges that will influence or govern future market developments are identified
