About Flo's mission and The Flo Commitment
Renewable energy is energy generated from a source that is not depleted when used i.e. sunlight, wind or water.
An international REC is an international Renewable Energy Certificate (REC). It accounts for one MWh of renewable electricity and states the origin of that unit of energy, how it was generated, and when, allowing buyers to track the source of energy.
Flo purchases international RECs from certified and accredited global registries such as I-REC by the I-TRACK Foundation and TIGR by APX.
International RECs are important because they verify that each megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity they account for has been generated sustainably from a renewable energy source such as solar, hydro, or wind.
International RECs are produced when a renewable energy generator generates one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity. Each international REC has a unique identification number and information about how it was generated, where, and when. Flo purchases international RECs and surrenders them for each MWh of electricity you use.
Flo emails customers a quarterly update including all information about the international RECs surrendered on their behalf.
Purchasing international RECs increases the demand for renewable energy generation. Creating more demand incentivises generators to produce more renewables which are better for the environment.
