What Are K-RECs

Korean Renewable Energy Certificates — also called Korean National EACs or K-RECs — represent 1 MWh of electricity generated from renewable sources in South Korea. Issued under the national framework, K-RECs certify the origin, including generation date, location, and technology type.

K-REC Market Specifics

South Korea’s renewable energy market is complex, with centralized electricity distribution, regulatory layers, and limited access to supply. High demand and limited renewable generation drive prices up, creating challenges for companies pursuing voluntary goals like RE100. At the same time, purchasing K-RECs supports the growth of renewable infrastructure in Korea, offering additionality and reinforcing ESG commitments.

Why Companies Buy K-RECs

K-RECs help companies demonstrate the use of renewable electricity sourced within South Korea. They support environmental reporting, reduce Scope 2 emissions, and contribute to carbon neutrality goals.

Retirement & Claiming Process

To make a renewable energy claim, a K-REC must be retired. Retirement means the certificate is taken out of circulation and cannot be resold or reused. It ensures that the environmental benefit is counted only once and is linked to a specific reporting period or purpose. When purchasing through our Marketplace, redemption certificates can be downloaded directly from the platform.

Voluntary Schemes

K-RECs are aligned with the requirements of all major voluntary schemes.
