WHAT IT REPRESENTS

What an I-REC(E) Certificate Represents

An I-REC(E) records information linked to renewable electricity generation within the applicable I-TRACK electricity product framework. One certificate is associated with one megawatt-hour of eligible electricity generation. The registry records issuance, transfers and redemption so the same attribute is not claimed more than once within the system.

FRAMEWORKS

I-REC(E) and Indian REC Serve Different Frameworks

Indian regulatory and market use, including applicable compliance use
Buyer decision
Reporting boundary, geography, technology, vintage and claim rules
Legal obligation, eligibility, exchange process and procurement strategy
These instruments are not interchangeable. The buyer's objective and reporting or regulatory context determine the appropriate route.

For Renewable Generators

Hindsecure can support:

initial eligibility and double-issuance screening
review of plant, metering, commissioning and generation documents
coordination with the applicable issuer or registry route
issuance-cycle documentation
inventory planning by technology, location and vintage

A useful procurement specification should define:

consumption period and volume
reporting standard or internal policy
relevant country or market boundary
delivery and redemption timing
technology preference
evidence and beneficiary wording
generation vintage
Hindsecure can support requirement definition, sourcing, inventory comparison, counterparty checks, transfer coordination and retirement documentation.

Price Is Only One Part of a Certificate Decision

Buyers should also assess technology, location, vintage, production period, registry status, contractual delivery, beneficiary details and claim compatibility.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Renewable energy certificate

No. The certificate represents an electricity attribute. Physical power delivery and contractual electricity supply are separate questions unless they form part of the same procurement structure.

Programme rules are designed to prevent double issuance and double claiming. Existing subsidies, certificates, contractual rights and registrations must be reviewed before registration.

Do not assume so. The applicable Indian regulation and the obligated entity's requirement must be assessed separately.

Plant location, technology, capacity, commissioning date, ownership, metering arrangement, generation data and any existing certificate or attribute registration.
