Renewable Obligation Certificates

ROCs

ROCs provide necessary proof that a certain amount of electricity has been generated from renewable sources. Energy suppliers are required to collect these certificates to meet government-set targets for renewable energy production. Without them, organizations can expect to pay a penalty. This system encourages the production and use of renewable energy, helping to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change.
