Bearkat 1 Texas Wind REC Project
Buy and retire RECs from this project to support market-based Scope 2 renewable electricity claims.
This page is for companies looking to buy high-quality, Green-e certified Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from a named U.S. wind project. Bearkat 1 is a 196.7 MW onshore wind farm in Glasscock County, Texas, on the ERCOT grid. Evertreen acts as an intermediary: we source and retire these RECs on your behalf and do not own or operate the wind farm. A REC matches one MWh of renewable electricity — it is not a carbon offset.

Who this project is for
Bearkat 1 RECs suit sustainability managers, procurement leads, and companies that need to match U.S. electricity use with verified renewable generation for market-based Scope 2 reporting — particularly buyers seeking U.S. wind RECs in the ERCOT (Texas) region.
What Bearkat 1 is
Bearkat 1 is a utility-scale wind farm near Garden City in Glasscock County, West Texas. Its 57 Vestas turbines have a combined capacity of 196.7 MW and have been generating electricity onto the Texas (ERCOT) grid since December 2017. The project was developed by Tri Global Energy and is owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. Its operating record is publicly listed on Global Energy Monitor.
What a REC from this project represents
One REC = one MWh. A Renewable Energy Certificate represents the environmental attributes of one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity delivered to the grid. When you buy and retire a Bearkat 1 REC, you hold the exclusive right to claim that clean megawatt-hour.
Certification and tracking
Bearkat 1's RECs are Green-e Energy certified and independently audited each year. Each certificate carries a unique serial number and records the generating facility, technology type, and vintage year, and is retired in an accredited REC tracking registry when claimed.
How double counting is prevented
Each REC has a unique serial number and is retired only once in an accredited registry when it is claimed. Green-e's annual verification audit confirms that only one party claims each certificate, so the same renewable megawatt-hour cannot be sold or counted twice.
Why this is a high-quality REC project
- Green-e Energy certified
- Independently audited every year
- Unique serial number on every REC
- Retired in an accredited tracking registry
- Clear, disclosed ownership (Tri Global Energy / Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners), with Evertreen as a transparent intermediary
Evertreen's role
Evertreen acts as an intermediary for this project. We source Green-e certified RECs from Bearkat 1 and retire them on your behalf. Evertreen does not own or operate the wind farm. A REC matches electricity use under market-based Scope 2; it is not a carbon offset and does not represent a tonne of CO₂ reduced or removed.
What your company can claim
After Evertreen retires Bearkat 1 RECs on your behalf, your organisation can report the matched electricity as renewable under market-based Scope 2 reporting (GHG Protocol), supported by the retirement documentation we provide. RECs support renewable electricity claims only; they are not a substitute for reducing emissions and are not carbon offsetting.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC)?
A REC represents the environmental attributes of one megawatt-hour of renewable electricity delivered to the grid. Buying and retiring it gives you the exclusive right to claim that clean electricity.
What makes Bearkat 1 a high-quality REC project?
It is Green-e Energy certified, independently audited each year, issues a unique serial number per REC, retires each REC in an accredited registry, and has a clearly disclosed ownership structure.
What registry and retirement process is used?
Each REC is recorded with a unique serial number in an accredited REC tracking registry and is retired there when claimed, which is what makes the renewable electricity claim exclusive to you.
What claims can my company make after retirement?
You can report the matched electricity as renewable under market-based Scope 2 (GHG Protocol). RECs cover electricity-use claims only — not carbon offsetting.
How is double counting prevented?
Unique serial numbers, single retirement in an accredited registry, and Green-e's annual audit ensure only one party can claim each certificate.
Does Evertreen own the Bearkat 1 project?
No. Bearkat 1 is owned by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and was developed by Tri Global Energy. Evertreen is an intermediary that sources and retires the RECs on your behalf.
Buy RECs from Bearkat 1. Tell us your annual electricity use (in MWh) and Evertreen will handle certification and retirement.
