General
This account type offers full functionality, meaning the ability to transfer in and out RECs, register projects of all sizes and retire RECs on behalf of others. This account type is best for companies who want full flexibility to manage their RECs and projects.
Asset Owner
This account type can register projects of all sizes and transfer RECs out, but cannot have RECs transferred in or retire RECs on behalf of others. This account type is best for companies who only want to register projects for REC issuance in their account, and deliver those RECs to their offtaker’s TIGR account.
Retail Aggregator
This account type can have RECs transferred in and retire RECs on behalf of others, but cannot transfer RECs out. This account is best for companies taking delivery of RECs and retiring RECs towards their own commitments, or on behalf of others.
Retirement
This account type is specifically intended for taking delivery and immediately retiring RECs on the company’s own behalf. Active RECs cannot be held in this account type and RECs cannot be retired on behalf of others using this account type.
Qualified Reporting Entity
This account type’s sole purpose is to upload MWhs into TIGR. This account type cannot register projects or manage RECs in any way. APX/TIGRS can serve as a reporting entity at the request of the clients. All projects of 1MW or higher requires a qualified reporting entity for reporting quality meter data. If the asset is less than 1MW it can be self reported but subject to review by the TIGRS administrator.
