## Summary

This clause is a fundamental part of any landlord and tenant’s strategy to reach net zero.

\[**Renewable Energy Certificate** means a renewable energy certificate\[or an equivalent certificate\] for energy consumed within the Premises and generated from a recognised source of renewable energy for which such certificates are available.\]

**Renewable Energy Sources** means naturally replenishing non-fossil sources of energy, including but not limited to hydropower and tidal power, hydrothermal power, aerothermal power and geothermal power, wind, and solar \[which are in each case eligible for certification as Renewable Energy Certificates\].
