What is a High-Impact REC and how does it meet Microsoft's CFE criteria?
A renewable energy certificate (REC) is created every time a clean energy project generates one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity. Buying RECs is how companies formally account for renewable energy, and it's the mechanism Microsoft uses for its supplier CFE program.
Most RECs are bought from projects that already exist. Ever.green's are different because they come from new projects that needed committed buyers to move forward, which means your purchase is tied to adding new clean energy to the grid.
That's why Ever.green is a Microsoft-approved CFE provider and why purchasing through Ever.green satisfies your disclosure requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum purchase?
The minimum is 5 RECs on a 10-year prepaid contract. If you're unsure how many RECs your consumption requires, share your annual electricity usage with us at microsoft@ever.green and we'll work it out for you.
How long does this take?
From quote to signed contract typically takes about two weeks, depending on your internal review timeline.
What if my electricity consumption grows?
We typically recommend factoring in some growth when deciding on your initial quantity. We're happy to talk through that when we send your quote.
What information do I need to get started?
Just your annual electricity consumption if you have it. If you don't, leave that field in the quote form blank and we'll help you figure out the right amount.
Do I need to work with a carbon inventory partner before purchasing?
No. If you already work with a carbon inventory partner, they can help you determine the right quantity to purchase. If you don't have a partner, you don't need one to get started. We'll help you size the purchase based on your consumption.
