Examples of REC in a sentence

  • If the allocation of allowances is made on an on-going future basis, as electricity is generated, and the amount of allowances is keyed to actual energy production, the allowances are part of the Standard REC.

  • The working group included all such future allowances or benefits associated with generation with a Standard REC, viewing the sale of the Standard REC as a derivative of the energy, with the Standard REC buyer being the fixed price payor.

  • A “Standard REC,” which is “all” Environmental Attributes, includes within it any future allowances (or credits) that are awarded based on the measured quantity of generation with which the Standard REC was associated.

  • Although the Standard REC seller is not paying a floating price, it is receiving a steady and fixed, defined cash flow that it can use to ensure the economics of its project, and foregoing the floating price (which the buyer is receiving), which is the fluctuation in any future value inherent in what was sold for that fixed price.

  • It is Seller’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy and completeness of information contained in its REC Annual Report.
