2 Scope

2.1 This Standard covers two renewable low-impact electricity products, which allow the commodification of renewable energy generation, and denote relatively low environmental impacts when compared to traditional fossil based electricity generation activities. These impacts are among other things, low net greenhouse gas emissions, limited depletion of non-renewable resources, reduced emissions of other pollutants and reduced impacts on aquatic, riparian and terrestrial ecosystems and species. These two products are:

a)    Bundled renewable low-impact electricity; and

b)    Renewable Energy Certificates.
