02 - Foundation's View On I-REC Prices
Introduction
End-users that are interested in buying I-RECs to make a reliable claim about their energy usage often
want to have an estimate of how much this will costs. Similarly, production device owners or organizations
acting on their behalf are interested in how much the sell of I-RECs could give them financially.
Please note however that it is well known that prices vary significantly depending upon certificates origin
(location, age, device, technology, size, subsidy support, sustainability labels and others). As such there is
not a single commodity price for I-RECs as is common in more fungible markets such as the carbon
markets. The secretariat of the International REC Standard Foundation can be contacted through
secretariat@irecstandard.org in case more information regarding the difference between EAC markets and
carbon markets is desired.
Recent market statistics regarding the volume can be found on the website.
