AERN brings transparency, security, and decentralized access to the national clean energy economy using blockchain technology. Verified by national energy agencies and built on Solana.
Building a transparent, accessible, and fraud-proof future for clean energy finance.
The American Energy Reserve Network (AERN) serves as the United States' blockchain-based infrastructure for the issuance, trading, and auditing of verified renewable energy credits (RECs). Our mission is to modernize and streamline America's clean energy market using cutting-edge technology.
"AERN represents a critical step toward creating a more transparent, efficient, and accessible renewable energy credit system for all Americans. By leveraging blockchain technology, we're bringing the clean energy economy into the digital age."
By providing a secure, tamper-proof ledger for renewable energy credits, AERN enables unprecedented levels of transparency while dramatically reducing settlement times and eliminating the risk of double-counting or fraud.
Addressing the challenges of today's fragmented renewable energy credit systems with cutting-edge blockchain technology and federal verification standards.
Current REC systems are slow, opaque, and regionally fragmented, with settlement taking weeks and access limited to large corporations and utilities. Fraud and double-selling are growing concerns highlighted in recent GAO reports.
AERN uses Solana's high-speed blockchain to instantly issue, transfer, and audit verified RECs, reducing settlement times from weeks to seconds and eliminating administrative bottlenecks.
Our open public ledger provides real-time tracking and eliminates the risk of double-counting or fraudulent claims, ensuring the integrity of every renewable energy credit in the system.
AERN introduces fractional renewable energy credits, democratizing access to small producers, homeowners with rooftop solar, and everyday investors who were previously excluded from the market.
Automated smart contracts handle credit expiration, retirement, and compliance reporting, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring adherence to regulatory requirements.
AERN's platform is designed for all stakeholders in the energy ecosystem, from large utilities and corporations to small businesses and individual homeowners with renewable generation capabilities.
The U.S. Department of Energy, in collaboration with the Environmental Protection Agency and industry stakeholders, has established a standardized six-step process for the verification, issuance, and tracking of Renewable Energy Credits.
Renewable energy producers register their generation facilities through the DOE's Energy Facility Registration System (EFRS).
Registered facilities generate renewable energy through solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, or other qualified sources.
Generation data undergoes rigorous verification through a multi-agency process to ensure accuracy and prevent fraud.
Verified generation data is converted into Renewable Energy Credits in the National REC Registry maintained by the Department of Energy.
RECs can be transferred, sold, or purchased through the federally-monitored National REC Exchange platform.
RECs are permanently retired when used to meet compliance obligations or voluntary sustainability goals.
The National Renewable Energy Credit Program operates under the direct oversight of the Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, with additional supervision from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Regular audits, data verification, and system security reviews are conducted to maintain program integrity. All participating facilities must meet stringent technical requirements and data validation protocols to ensure accurate measurement and prevent potential abuses of the system.
The National REC Program is an official federal initiative authorized by the Energy Policy Act and subsequent legislative directives. All program operations adhere to federal standards for data security, financial transactions, and regulatory compliance.
Energy producers generate renewable energy and submit production data through secure, verified channels.
Energy output is verified through established protocols in conjunction with regulatory agencies.
Verified production is converted into digital REC tokens on the Solana blockchain.
RECs are listed on the AERN marketplace for transparent trading and transfer.
Credits are redeemed or retired for compliance, sustainability goals, or regulatory requirements.
The National Renewable Energy Credit Program operates under direct federal oversight with multiple layers of verification to ensure the highest standards of accuracy, security, and compliance.
The Solana Foundation provides the secure blockchain infrastructure for the National REC Program, enabling transparent tracking, instant settlement, and fraud prevention for renewable energy credits.
The U.S. Department of Energy serves as the primary administering agency for the National REC Program through its Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
The EPA provides regulatory oversight for environmental compliance and assists in verification of emissions reductions attributed to renewable energy production.
FERC oversees energy market aspects of the program, ensuring fair market operations and compliance with federal energy regulations.
All aspects of the National REC Program undergo regular independent verification and auditing to ensure accuracy, prevent fraud, and maintain the highest standards of integrity.
The program employs a multi-layered verification approach that includes automated data validation, routine facility inspections, statistical analysis, and comprehensive annual audits conducted by approved third-party verification entities.
Track available renewable energy credits by source type, volume, and price in real-time.
Join thousands of energy producers, utilities, and businesses in America's unified renewable energy credit marketplace. The program is open to qualified participants following these verification steps.
Complete the required federal verification process to establish your eligibility as a program participant.
Register and connect your renewable energy generation assets to the national verification network.
Access the National REC Exchange to issue, trade, or purchase verified renewable energy credits.
The National REC Program operates through a secure, federally-maintained digital infrastructure with multiple layers of security and verification. The official program contract address shown above serves as the primary identifier for all authorized transactions within the system.
This contract address is publicly verifiable through the Federal Registry of Energy Assets (FREA) and is maintained by the Department of Energy's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER).
