I-REC Market Intelligence and Price Tracker

I-RECs are the default EAC standard across most of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East — which also makes them the certificate type with the most fragmented pricing data. Hestiya pulls I-REC transaction data daily, maps it against project location and technology, and turns it into a live pricing view you can filter by country, vintage, and generation type.

LIVE MARKET DATA

Real-Time I-RECs (EAC) Market Analytics & Satellite Mapping

Hestiya Intelligence pairs interactive satellite maps with live I-RECs (EAC) market analytics pricing data, so you can see exactly where renewable energy technologies and project activity are concentrated. Combine that geographic view with real-time market participants data, and procurement teams get the full picture needed for informed, confident procurement decisions.

RE100 & Non-RE100 Asset Classification

Filter certificates by RE100 eligible certificates status to quickly identify assets that qualify for RE100 renewable energy commitments, or review non-RE100 assets separately when sourcing for other corporate sustainability goals.

Pricing Data

I-RECs (EAC) Pricing Trends & Historical Market Data

Our Pricing Methodology

Every price on Hestiya Intelligence goes through the same three-step process. First, Data Ingestion: our systems pull data daily via API directly from registries and marketplaces. Second, Normalization & Cleaning: figures are standardized, outliers are flagged and reviewed, and all prices are converted to a common currency. Third, Volume-Weighted Average: we calculate the final price using a volume-weighted average EAC price calculation method, so high-volume trades carry proportionally more weight than one-off outliers.

GLOBAL REGISTRY

Explore the Global I-RECs (EAC) Registry

Identify, Analyze & Procure Renewable Energy Certificates

Every listing in the I-RECs (EAC) registry links back to verifiable project and registry data, covering both established markets and emerging ones. Browse renewable energy project registry records and I-RECs registry data side by side to identify, analyze, and procure with confidence.

CARBON DATA

Carbon Market Intelligence: Credit Prices, Projects and Trends

Carbon credits don't trade on a single exchange, which makes price discovery harder than it is for equities or even EACs. Hestiya tracks verified carbon credit transactions across major registries and project types, so you can see current pricing, project-level detail, and where the market is moving before you commit to a purchase.

Our Carbon Pricing Methodology

Carbon credit pricing on Hestiya follows the same three-step discipline as our EAC pricing. First, we ingest transaction and listing data daily from registries and project developers. Second, we normalize it — standardizing currency, flagging duplicate or stale listings, and separating credits by project type (nature-based, renewable energy, methane capture, direct air capture, and so on) since these rarely trade at comparable prices. Third, we apply a volume-weighted average within each project category, so a handful of large trades don't quietly skew the number you're looking at.

Carbon Credit Project Registry

Every carbon listing on Hestiya links back to its underlying project — developer, registry standard (Verra, Gold Standard, ACR, and others), vintage year, and verification status. Browse by project type or country to see not just the price, but what's actually generating the credit.

Carbon Market Trends

Voluntary carbon markets move on a different rhythm than EAC markets — corporate net-zero commitments, registry methodology updates, and nature-based project supply all shift pricing in ways that don't map cleanly onto renewable energy demand. Hestiya's trend tracking separates these signals out by project category, so a slowdown in one segment (say, REDD+ credits) doesn't get read as a market-wide trend when it isn't one.

Definitions

The Global EAC Landscape

EAC is one universal concept with different regional names. Depending on where you operate, the same underlying certificate might be called I-RECs, GO, REC, REGO, GEC, or YEK-G.

EAC: Energy Attribute Certificate

An EAC, or Energy Attribute Certificate, is the umbrella term for any certificate that proves one megawatt-hour of electricity came from a renewable source.

I-RECs: Asia, Africa, LatAm & Middle East

I-RECs certificates are the leading EAC standard in markets without their own local tracking system, covering most of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.

GEC: China

GEC, or Green Electricity Certificate, has been China's sole recognized renewable energy instrument since I-RECs issuance stopped there in March 2025.

GO: Guarantee of Origin (Europe)

Guarantee of Origin, or GO, is the European Union's equivalent EAC standard, used to track and certify renewable electricity generation across EU member states.

YEK-G: Turkey

YEK-G is Turkey's domestic equivalent of a Guarantee of Origin certificate, traded alongside I-RECs in the same market rather than replacing it.

REC: Renewable Energy Certificate (North America)

REC, or Renewable Energy Certificate, is the equivalent EAC standard used across the United States and Canada to track renewable electricity generation.

REGO: Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (UK)

REGO certificates are the United Kingdom's EAC standard, tracked separately from the European Union's GO system since the UK's departure from the EU.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About EAC & I-REC Market Intelligence

What is an Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC)?

An Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC) is an official document proving that 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity was generated from a renewable energy source. EAC is the global umbrella term covering regional standards such as I-REC in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, GO in Europe, and REC in North America.

What is an I-REC?

An I-REC (International Renewable Energy Certificate) is a standardized EAC issued under the I-TRACK Foundation framework. It allows organizations across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East to track, verify, and report Scope 2 renewable electricity consumption.

What is carbon market intelligence?

Carbon market intelligence is data and analysis on carbon credit prices, projects, registries and market trends. It shows what credits cost by project type, where supply is growing and how demand is moving, so buyers can compare options, time purchases and avoid overpaying before they commit.

What is EAC market intelligence?

EAC market intelligence tracks the prices, volumes, projects and trends of Energy Attribute Certificates across regions and standards. It gives procurement teams a single view of markets such as I-REC, GO, REC and GEC, instead of separate registry reports, so they can buy renewable certificates at the right time and price.

How are I-REC prices determined?

I-REC prices depend on the country, generation technology (solar, wind, hydro), vintage year, RE100 eligibility and trade volume. Hestiya collects daily transaction data, cleans it and calculates a volume-weighted average, so large trades count for more than one-off outliers. Prices vary by market because supply and corporate demand differ in each country.

How does carbon credit pricing work?

Carbon credits trade across many registries and platforms rather than on one exchange, so prices vary. Project type, standard (Verra, Gold Standard), vintage, location and verification status all affect cost. Nature-based, renewable energy, methane capture and removal credits rarely trade at comparable prices, so averages are best compared within each category.

What is the difference between I-REC vs REC vs GO?

The difference depends on regional jurisdiction: RECs apply in North America, Guarantees of Origin (GO) apply in Europe, and I-RECs apply across most of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East. All three serve the same purpose of documenting Scope 2 renewable energy attributes.

What is the difference between the voluntary carbon market and the compliance market?

In the voluntary market, companies buy carbon credits by choice to meet climate or net-zero goals. In compliance markets, such as the EU Emissions Trading System, governments require companies to hold permits for their emissions. Hestiya's marketplace and intelligence products cover the voluntary market.
