NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Powerledger, a leading energy software company has announced the official integration of its REC marketplace, TraceX with ERCOT (Electric Reliability Council of Texas), opening seamless access to one of the most dynamic renewable energy markets in the United States.

With this integration, commercial & industrial

(C&I) buyers, brokers, and traders can now access, compare, and purchase ERCOT renewable energy certificates (RECs) directly via TraceX, with full price transparency, simplified settlement, seamless retirement & certification, and less administrative overhead.

Unlocking a High-Value REC Market:

ERCOT manages approximately 90% of Texas’ electric load. In 2023, the Texas region generated over 32 million unbundled RECs, primarily from wind and solar. It has become a strategic hub for REC procurement, particularly for corporates looking to meet ESG mandates and brokers looking for efficient REC strategies.

Key Features of the ERCOT Integration with TraceX
● Seamless ERCOT REC Listings: Instantly browse and compare RECs across wind, solar, and other sources.
● Advanced Filtering: Flexible REC search by vintage, location, facility and other attributes.
● Price Transparency: Make informed decisions with real-time pricing data.
● Frictionless Transactions: Automated processes enable faster REC transactions than OTC markets.
● Instant REC Retirement: Easily retire RECs within the platform with full traceability and access to retirement statements, ensuring compliance and audit readiness.
● Secure REC trades: Explore REC trades enabled with pre-validated participants, US banking compliant KYC, and on-platform payments.

Custodian REC Holding & Retirement for Market Access:

For corporate sustainability teams, ESG leaders and SMBs, TraceX offers a custodian REC holding and retirement service, enabling easy access to certified RECs without maintaining a registry account. With one click, users can retire RECs and instantly download official proof, simplifying compliance and audit readiness.

Streamlined REC Trading:

Unlike traditional OTC REC markets burdened by manual processing and settlement delays, TraceX automates every step, from onboarding to transaction to retirement. This empowers both large-scale buyers and emerging clean energy participants to move faster and operate more efficiently in the market.

“ERCOT represents a massive opportunity for clean energy buyers. With TraceX, we’re removing friction from the process, making REC procurement faster, more transparent, and accessible to everyone,” said Daniel Walsh, VP Sales, TraceX.
