Aera trades Renewable Energy Certificates from Africa.

Our focus is mainly on issued certificates and spot transactions. We also provide short term forward contracts. Our buyers are mostly located in Europe and North America.

Our portfolio of I-REC certificates comes from a hydro plant in Uganda, a wind farm in Morocco and solar PV sites in Namibia. We are extending our supply to enroll new countries and projects.
