The Michigan Renewable Energy Certification System (MIRECS) issues, tracks, and enables retirement and trading of Michigan Renewable Energy Credits (RECs), Advanced Cleaner Energy (ACECs), Michigan Incentive Renewable Energy Credits (ICs) and Energy Optimization Credits (EOCs) under the state’s Clean, Renewable and Efficient Energy Act.

MIRECS users will use the system to verify compliance with the Michigan Renewable Energy Standard. MIRECS is an important tool to keep track of all relevant information about renewable energy produced and delivered in Michigan.

MIRECS will integrate with the Midwest Renewable Energy Tracking System (M-RETS) and the North American Renewables Registry™ to provide for import and exports across renewable energy markets . This provides for an integrated marketplace across the larger region. MIRECS uses verifiable generation data for all participating generators and creates credits in the form of a tradable digital certificate for each MWh generated or saved.
