REC Solutions

Small business customers (Rate Schedule numbers 226, 230 and 230M) are eligible to participate in OPPD’s REC Subscribe program.

OPPD may be required to alter the price from time to time.

Customers who receive an electric bill directly from OPPD can participate. The REC Subscribe program does not require any physical changes to your business so renters are eligible to participate in the program. Renters who do not receive an electric bill directly from OPPD should discuss enrollment with their landlord.

Yes. However, your on-site energy production will reduce the amount of RECs you purchase.

The RECs are sourced from the renewable generators OPPD receives energy from through power purchase agreements. A complete list of renewable resources can be found in the OPPD Service Area Map.

Revenues are reinvested to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across OPPD’s owned centers and generation facilities. These funds support projects and upgrades that lower the carbon intensity of operations while improving overall system performance and efficiency.

Participants in the REC Subscribe program will not receive a physical copy of the purchased RECs. OPPD will instead publicly retire the RECs in a REC registry on your behalf annually.

OPPD will provide documentation on OPPD.com showing the total number of RECs retired on behalf of the REC Subscribe participants at the beginning of each year for the previous year.

Large commercial customers (Rate Schedule numbers 231, 231M, 232, 245, 250, 261M and 357) are eligible to participate in OPPD’s REC Subscribe Pro program.

Customers can choose to purchase as many RECs as they want, as long as they are available and not already allocated. The cost for each REC varies frequently with fluctuations in the market for environmental attributes. The cost can also vary based upon many other variables such as when a REC was generated, the source of the renewable energy, the age of the generating facility and any certifications met by the REC.

RECs are one way in which renewable energy is purchased and tracked. One REC equals one megawatt-hour (1,000 kilowatt-hours) of renewable energy. When renewable energy is produced, it includes two components; the kilowatt-hours of energy produced and the environmental attributes of the energy – the “claim” of renewable energy. RECs represent the environmental attributes of energy produced by a renewable generation facility. Learn more about RECs.

In each transaction, OPPD will either retire or transfer RECs on behalf of the customer. If the customer desires the RECs to be retired, OPPD will perform this action. If the customer desires a transfer, then OPPD will need to obtain the REC registry account details of the customer. There may be additional registry transfer fees that the customer must pay.

Retiring a REC means the REC has been used by the owner and can no longer be sold or otherwise transferred. RECs are retired in a REC registry, an online software that creates, tracks and ultimately removes RECs from circulation. A registry is used to ensure the same REC is not claimed by multiple people by providing transparency and traceability.

Participants will receive documentation of each transaction showing the RECs retired or transferred by OPPD on their behalf.
