<p><strong>S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights <a href="https://press.spglobal.com/2022-09-05-S-P-Global-Commodity-Insights-Launches-First-Platts-Renewable-Energy-Certificate-Price-Assessments-for-Brazil,-India-and-Turkey" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> an independent suite of price assessments for International Renewable Energy Certificates (I-RECs) in Brazil, India, and Turkey </strong> as market participants and energy consumers seek transparency in the global market for valuing renewable-origin power generation. I-RECs certificates are a way for electricity consumers to have confidence that their power consumption comes from renewable sources. These assessments augment a suite of similar price references offered by S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights for renewable energy certificates (RECs) in North America and Guarantees of Origin (GOs) in Europe. Brazil is the largest I-REC market in Latin America, while Turkey and India represent two of the largest markets in Asia. The Platts Global I-REC price assessments reflect end-of-day renewable-origin power values determined by buyers and sellers in the spot certificates market. The assessments will be expressed in various currencies per MWh. Platts I-REC assessments cover the leading renewables technologies of hydro, solar, wind, and biomass generation.</p>
