PDF Retirement Certificates are designed to be a user friendly method to efficiently share REC retirement activity with interested parties that do not have direct access to the retiring NAR account. These PDF certificates can be generated 2 ways:
-
- At the time of retirement
- After the fact directly from the retirement sub-account
Generating a PDF Retirement Certificate at the Time of REC Retirement
- Upon arriving at the Transfer Certificates screen, where the retirement details are entered, select the "Retired on behalf of Beneficial Owner" Retirement Type. Fill in the relevant Retirement Details.
- From the "Retirement Certificate Type" field, select either Individual Detailed or Aggregated Summary.
-
- Individual Detailed will generate a separate PDF document for every REC batch, detailing the retirement reason details, project, project type, retirement date, serial number and quantity
- Aggregated Summary will generate a single PDF document for multiple REC batches, detailing the retirement reason details, vintage year, project type, retirement date and quantity
-
- Submit the retirement.
- NAR will send an automated email notification to the designated email address recipients, attaching the PDF Retirement Certificates.
Generating a PDF Retirement Certificate from the Retirement Sub-Account
- Access your retirement sub-account.
- Scroll to the far right of the retirement sub-account screen.
- Click the "View" hyperlink under the View Retirement Certificate for On Behalf of Retirements column
- This will generate an Individual Detailed version of the PDF Retirement Certificate
- To generate an Aggregated Summary version of the PDF Retirement Certificate, access the retirement sub-account screen
- Select the desired REC batches and click the "Generate Aggregated Retirement Certificate" button near the top of the screen. The PDF document will immediately download.
Adding Your Logo to the PDF Retirement Certificate
- Access your retirement sub-account
- Click the Upload My Company Logo for Retirement Certificate button located near the top of the page
- Use the next screen to upload your company's logo. Optionally provide consent to have your company's logo referenced on other APX promotional material.
- The NAR administrator will review your logo submission request. Upon your logo request approval, your company's logo will automatically be inserted in to all PDF Retirement Certificates.
