Buy REGOs

What is a REGO?

Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) are the certificates used to track and document the consumption of renewable energy in the United Kingdom. Each REGO represents 1 MWh of renewable energy and states how, where and when that unit of energy was produced.

REGOs are cancelled —or redeemed— in favour of a single organisation, which then owns the environmental benefits of that unit of energy, such as lower emissions.

After the UK's exit from the EU, REGOs are the only documents that enable businesses to claim ownership of clean energy, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and meet renewable energy objectives.

What are the benefits of buying REGOs?

Companies that buy renewable energy documented with REGOs:

Reduce Scope 2 emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
Become more appealing to investors and funds with sustainability criteria.
Build loyalty with an increasing share of environmentally minded customers.
Accelerate the energy transition by directing extra income to clean power producers, making renewables more competitive and incentivising investments in new capacity.
