 What is a REC?
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) are tradeable credits representing all the environmental benefits of 1 megawatt hour of renewable energy. So when 4,009 Texas wind RECs are purchased, it’s basically paying a Texas windfarm to generate renewable energy. For every REC purchased that windfarm generates 1 megawatt of Texas wind power and puts it into the grid. When Task Force Servers draw power from the grid, it can then claim credit for that wind power generated on its behalf.
Prior to the REC purchase, Task Force Servers had already begun the process of reducing their environmental impact at the office (recycling, minimizing paper use, etc.), and recently switched to higher efficiency servers.
