Have your say on RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates)

This is a quick survey to better understand the thoughts and motivation of ATA members with respect to Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

Electricity retailers across Australia are required by the government to purchase RECs in order to meet targets for renewable energy generation. These RECs can be purchased from householders who are installing solar hot water or solar photovoltaic systems.

To complete this survey you will need to have installed, or be planning to install, a solar hot water or solar photovoltaic system (or both) on your home. The photovoltaic system can be grid-connected or stand alone.

For more information on the purpose of RECs and how they work, please read the ATA article, Don’t Wreck those RECs from ReNew 105.
