REC Registry

What is the REC registry?

The REC-registry  is an internet based registry system that is required by the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 (the Act). The REC-registry is dedicated to:

• maintaining various registers (as set in the Act); and
• facilitating the creation, registration, transfer and surrender of renewable energy certificates (RECs).

Registries

The following registers are required under the Act and are maintained in the REC registry:

• The register of registered persons
• The register of accredited power stations
• The register of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs);
• The register of applications for accredited power stations.

Maintenance of the REC registry

Apart from scheduled maintenance or unforeseen outages, the REC-registry is available 24 hours a day. A REC-registry helpdesk operates between 8.30am and 5:30pm Eastern Standard Time, Monday to Friday. The helpdesk can be contacted on 1800 159 724.

Security of the REC-registry

The REC-registry system uses a data encryption to protect the confidentiality of any information provided to the REC-registry.
