Who We Are

We believe that access to clean energy is foundational—just as essential as food, water, or shelter. Without it, communities cannot grow, economies cannot thrive, and climate resilience cannot take root. By verifying and attesting the impact of distributed renewable energy projects, The D-REC Organization provides a trusted label that enables climate finance to flow to where it’s needed most.
We manage the infrastructure, governance, and partnerships required to ensure that DRE projects are trusted, traceable, and impactful.

Without access to energy, communities remain locked out of opportunity. However, we are transforming this harsh reality one MWh at a time by accelerating access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy in emerging and underserved markets.
