Examples of Standard REC in a sentence
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.
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.
