Renewable Energy Certificates and Carbon Offset Programs
The City of Ashland has two custom programs designed to help Ashlanders mitigate their emissions. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) ensure that you are getting the environmental benefits of clean energy. Carbon Offsets (COs) reduce greenhouse gas emissions from other activities, such as vehicle travel or natural gas use.
