Calculating RECs for Wind and Hydro

You can claim RECs for small wind and small hydro systems. The deeming period you have to apply in the calculation can only be either 1 or 5 years (for more on deeming periods see the FAQ here). These systems can get Solar Credits if they meet the eligibility criteria.

The Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator have designed an online calculator to assist members of the public to determine the approximate amount of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that may be received under the Renewable Energy Target Scheme for an installation. The calculators will show how many RECs you can get with or without Solar Credits and are available here.
