Where does the data in M-RETS come from?

For electricity markets, renewable and carbon-free energy generators located in North America can use M-RETS so long as there are no statutory requirements to use another tracking system. Any generator tracked in another tracking system is prohibited from submitting a duplicate registration in M-RETS.

For renewable thermal markets, all thermal generation is reported to M-RETS by an Independent Reporting Entity or the generator owner. Every dekatherm (Dth) reported to M-RETS is verified by the System Administrators using official pipeline injection statements or approved meter readings.
