Renewable Energy Attributes
As a value-added service, Neutron Solar facilitates Renewable Energy Attributes (REAs) for the balance power consumed by clients through conventional distribution utilities. This enables our clients to achieve 100% green compliance across their overall electricity consumption, reinforcing their sustainability commitments.
By supporting ESG and decarbonization goals with a comprehensive clean energy approach, Neutron ensures that no unit of power consumed by a client remains unaccounted for in their green energy journey.
What we offer
We facilitate the procurement and registration of Renewable Energy Attributes for clients who consume power partly or fully through conventional grid utilities. Our end-to-end REA management covers instrument selection, registry coordination, and ongoing compliance tracking — ensuring complete green coverage across your total electricity footprint.
- REA procurement for balance grid power consumption
- 100% green compliance across total electricity footprint
- Support for I-REC, REC, and other international attribute instruments
- ESG reporting assistance and decarbonization documentation
Our key benefits
Our Renewable Energy Attributes service gives clients a straightforward path to complete green compliance — covering every unit of electricity consumed, not just what is directly sourced from solar assets. This holistic approach strengthens ESG credentials, satisfies auditor requirements, and supports corporate net-zero commitments.
100% Green Compliance
REAs cover the balance grid power not sourced directly from renewables, ensuring clients achieve full green certification across their entire electricity consumption.
Stronger ESG & Decarbonization Credentials
Verified renewable attributes support corporate sustainability reporting, investor disclosures, and net-zero targets with auditable, registry-backed documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
This section is designed to help you understand how Renewable Energy Attributes work, why they matter for your business, and how Neutron Solar can help you achieve full green compliance.
Renewable Energy Attributes are market-based instruments that represent the environmental and social benefits of one unit (typically 1 MWh) of electricity generated from a renewable source. They are issued by accredited registries and can be purchased independently of physical power supply — allowing businesses consuming conventional grid power to claim verified green energy credentials for that consumption.
Solar installations typically cover a portion of a facility's total power requirement. The remaining balance is drawn from the conventional distribution grid, which may include fossil-fuel-based generation. REAs bridge this gap by certifying the balance consumption as renewable — enabling businesses to claim 100% green electricity status across their entire energy footprint, which is increasingly required by global ESG frameworks and supply chain audits.
Neutron Solar facilitates procurement across multiple attribute instruments including Indian Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs), domestic RECs issued under the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) framework, and other internationally recognized certificates where applicable. The choice of instrument depends on the client's reporting framework, jurisdiction, and specific ESG or contractual requirements.
Yes. Internationally issued REAs such as I-RECs are recognised under major frameworks including the GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance, RE100, CDP reporting, and Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Domestic Indian RECs are accepted under CERC regulations and certain national compliance obligations. Our team advises clients on which instruments align with their specific reporting standards and stakeholder expectations.
Neutron handles the entire REA lifecycle on behalf of the client — from assessing the volume of balance consumption requiring coverage, selecting the appropriate instrument and registry, executing procurement, and formally retiring the certificates against the client's account. Retirement records serve as auditable proof of green compliance and are made available for inclusion in sustainability reports, investor disclosures, and regulatory submissions.
