Our industry-leading product – Renewable Energy Contract Options (RECO) – enables your business to purchase renewable energy simply and flexibly online in a matter of minutes by either:
Given the way the electricity market operates, it is generally not possible to physically buy electricity from renewable sources. When you make a RECO purchase through our online Shell Energy Portal, Shell Energy buys Large-scale generation certificates, or LGCs, from accredited renewable generators and then surrenders them on your behalf.
RECO purchases are an addition to the mandatory renewable power percentage (or RPP) under the Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme already part of your Retail Electricity Agreement.
Take the complexity out of accessing renewable energy options with RECO. Make your RECO purchases online in just 5 easy steps.
Make, adjust and track RECO purchases.
Progressive purchasing and access to quality data means you can take advantage of price movements and reduce timing and volume risk.
Track progress and generate reports at the touch of a button with RECO's easy-to-navigate dashboard.
When you make a RECO purchase, Shell Energy will acquire and surrender Large-scale Generation Certificates or LGCs, matching the agreed percentage of your electricity consumption. RECO is accessible through the online Shell Energy Portal and can be customised to align with your business needs and renewable energy requirements. Within RECO, you can also make purchases linked to specific renewable energy generators.
RECO provides a simple and flexible 5-step solution that can help your business purchase renewable energy in just minutes.
Arrange a demo or chat with our team to find out more about this simple and flexible online solution.
Please note that RECO is available to commercial and industrial electricity customers only.
