Climatic Energy

We register and sell I-RECs on behalf of renewable energy generators across India — revenue your tariff was never designed to capture.

Climatic Energy LLP is an I-REC monetization specialist. We register your project's environmental attributes with Evident and sell them to corporate and trading-desk buyers, turning a certificate you didn't know you had into a standing revenue line. We also offer two further ways to bring that value forward:

Forward Contracts

Structured forward sale of your I-RECs through our bilateral buyer network, priced ahead of generation.

High-Priced Smaller Projects

For select smaller, new projects — pricing currently 2 to 3 times typical exchange rates, through our network.

Check if your project qualifies See how it works ↓

The Opportunity

Most renewable energy projects are priced on tariff alone

The environmental attribute attached to every unit you generate is a separate, sellable asset. We exist to make sure that value doesn't go unclaimed — and for some projects, to get well above standard market pricing for it.

One registration, ongoing revenue

Once we register your project with Evident, every subsequent generation period produces certificates we can sell again — this isn't a one-time transaction, it's a standing revenue line attached to a project you already operate.

A market most generators haven't priced in

I-REC value sits outside what most EPC contracts, O&M agreements, or financing arrangements are built to capture. For new, smaller projects in particular, the pricing available right now is well above what's typical — see below.

Why Generators Work With Us

What sets Climatic apart as an I-REC partner

01

Registry standing buyers recognize

We're registered with Evident as both Registrant and Participant — not a broker reselling someone else's registration. That standing is part of what lets us negotiate a fair price on your behalf.

02

A negotiated sale, with exchange access available

We secure liquidity through a directly negotiated buyer relationship by default, with electronic exchange listing available as an additional option where it suits a specific project.

03

Demand we already have, not demand we have to find

We maintain standing relationships with global trading desks and multinational corporates with India operations — buyers actively looking for I-RECs today, not a cold search starting from your project.

04

Forward contracts, not just spot sales

We structure forward sales of your I-RECs ahead of generation through our bilateral buyer network, rather than requiring you to wait and sell period by period.

05

A premium tier for qualifying smaller projects

For new projects of 5 MW or less, we currently have access to forward-contract pricing 2 to 3 times typical exchange rates through our network. See below for details.

Beyond Standard Sales

Two further ways we bring I-REC value forward

Full detail on both lives on our I-RECs page — here's the short version.

Forward Contracts

Sell ahead of generation, not after

Through our bilateral buyer network, we structure forward sale agreements ahead of generation — volume, tenor, and pricing agreed up front, instead of selling period by period.

High-Priced Smaller Projects

2 to 3 times typical exchange pricing

For a limited set of smaller, new projects, our network currently has access to forward-contract pricing well beyond standard exchange rates. Limited in capacity and time.

Registry Status

Evident Registrant & Participant

Registered directly with Evident in both capacities — not operating as a reseller on someone else's registration.

Buyer Network

Standing relationships, not cold outreach

Direct, ongoing relationships with global trading desks and multinational corporates with India operations.

Portfolio & Sales

300+ MW, sold directly

300+ MW of solar, wind, and other renewable C&I capacity currently held for I-REC registration, every sale negotiated directly rather than anonymously listed.

Project Development Services

A separate business line, scoped and engaged independently of I-REC monetization — for generators who need help getting a project built, not just getting it paid.

What's included

Land aggregation, evacuation and grid-connectivity approvals, statutory clearances, and PPA procurement — the groundwork that decides whether a project gets built, and built on schedule. Engineering, procurement, and construction execution are available as a supporting capability alongside this.

Geographic Network

On-ground relationships and working knowledge across most of India's preferred renewable energy generation geographies — land, approval, and connectivity processes are state- and region-specific, and we're navigating familiar ground in each.

I-RECs & Green Attribute Monetization

Every megawatt-hour you generate is worth more than its tariff.

That extra value comes from the environmental attribute attached to every unit you generate — one that corporates and trading desks pay for directly. Climatic Energy registers, structures, and sells these attributes as I-RECs on behalf of solar, wind, and other renewable energy generators across India, turning an asset you already own into a second, ongoing revenue line.

Check if your project qualifies See how the registry works ↓

For Generators

You are likely losing I-REC revenue your plant has already earned

Most developers price a project on tariff alone. The environmental attribute attached to every unit you generate is a separate, sellable asset — and it goes unclaimed by default, not by design.

What's actually being left on the table

Once power leaves your meter, the grid has no memory of where it came from. The only way to prove — and monetize — that it was renewable is through a registry-tracked certificate. Without one, that proof, and the revenue attached to it, simply isn't captured.

Why this is easy to miss

I-REC eligibility, registration, and buyer access sit outside what most EPC contracts, O&M agreements, or financing arrangements are built to handle. It's a distinct workstream — which is exactly why it tends to be skipped rather than declined.

How We Work With You

How we turn your project's I-RECs into a sold, paid transaction

We manage the full lifecycle on your behalf — you stay focused on generation, we handle registration, structuring, and the buyer relationship.

01

Eligibility & assessment

We review your project's metering, vintage, and ownership documentation against I-REC Standard eligibility criteria, and flag anything that needs to be in place before registration.

02

Registration with Evident

We prepare and file the registration on your behalf and manage the verification process, drawing on our standing as an Evident-registered Registrant and Participant.

03

Certificate issuance & pricing

As generation data is verified period over period, certificates are issued. We track market pricing and advise on timing rather than selling at the first offer.

04

Sale to corporate & trading-desk buyers

We structure and close the sale through our existing buyer relationships — global trading desks and multinational corporates with India operations — and negotiate on your behalf.

05

Settlement & ongoing management

You receive payment and full transaction documentation. For projects with continuing generation, we manage the recurring cycle so this becomes a standing revenue line, not a one-off.

Forward Contracts

Sell your I-RECs ahead of generation, not after

Through our bilateral buyer network, we structure forward contracts for generators who want sale terms agreed before certificates are even issued — rather than waiting to sell period by period.

Why forward, not spot

Selling period by period means your price is only as good as whatever the market looks like that quarter. A forward contract lets you lock in terms ahead of generation, giving you revenue certainty over a longer horizon instead of re-negotiating every cycle.

How we structure it

We match your expected generation profile against demand already standing in our bilateral buyer network, then negotiate a forward sale agreement directly — volume, tenor, and pricing terms agreed up front, with the same registry and transaction discipline as any of our spot sales.

High-Priced Smaller Projects

A further offer, for select smaller projects, well above exchange pricing

Currently Available Through Our Network

Forward-contract pricing 2 to 3 times typical exchange rates

For a limited set of smaller, new projects, our bilateral network currently has access to forward-contract pricing well beyond what exchange-listed sales typically realize — 2 to 3 times the standard rate. This window is limited in both capacity and time.

Ask if your project fits this window

Registry Mechanics

What actually backs your certificate's credibility

A certificate is only worth what its registry can prove. Here's what stands behind every I-REC we register on your behalf.

System of Record

Registry — Evident

Maintains the single authoritative ledger of which facilities are registered, which certificates have been issued against verified generation, and which have been retired. This is what rules out double-counting, regardless of who sells the certificate.

Your Representative

Climatic Energy

Climatic Energy is registered with Evident as both Registrant and Participant — we register your facility, manage the certificate lifecycle end to end, and represent you directly through to sale. Depending on what suits your project, we secure liquidity through a negotiated buyer relationship, an electronic exchange listing, or both.

Climatic Energy currently holds 300+ MW of solar, wind, and other renewable C&I generation capacity for I-REC registration and sale, with additional capacity under active discussion as our portfolio grows. Every asset is registered and managed under our standing as an Evident Registrant and Participant.

Demand We Bring to the Table

Who buys your I-RECs, and why that determines your price

A registered certificate is only worth what someone will pay for it. We maintain standing relationships with the buyer types most active in the I-REC market today, which is what lets us negotiate from a position of real demand rather than shopping your certificates cold.

GHG Protocol · Scope 2 RE100 CDP Disclosure Corporate Net-Zero Targets

Global trading desks

Firms that transact certificate volumes as part of a broader environmental commodities book, valuing portfolio scale and registration consistency.

Multinational corporates, India operations

Companies needing a credible Scope 2 market-based instrument for India-based facilities where a direct power purchase agreement isn't operationally practical.

Sustainability-linked procurement teams

Organizations building recurring, multi-year procurement programs rather than one-off purchases — useful for generators wanting a standing buyer rather than a new search each cycle.

Getting Your Bearings

I-RECs vs. domestic RECs, PPAs, and carbon credits

Generators sometimes assume any "green certificate" income is the same. The differences below affect what you're eligible for and what a buyer will actually pay.

Instrument	What it actually certifies	Who typically buys it
I-REC	The environmental attribute of 1 MWh, tracked end-to-end through the Evident registry	Corporates and trading desks reporting Scope 2 emissions internationally
Domestic REC (India)	Compliance instrument under India's national Renewable Purchase Obligation framework	Obligated entities meeting state or national RPO targets
PPA / VPPA	A contractual claim on power itself — physical or financial — usually tied to a specific asset	Buyers seeking long-term price certainty and a direct project relationship
Carbon credit	Avoided or removed emissions from a defined project activity, unrelated to electricity specifically	Buyers offsetting emissions across any scope, not specifically Scope 2

For Buyers

Sourcing India-origin I-RECs — for corporates and trading desks

We work with both sides of the I-REC market. For generators, we register and sell. For buyers — whether corporate sustainability teams reporting Scope 2 emissions or trading desks building I-REC positions — we offer direct access to a verified, growing portfolio of India-origin certificates.

India is one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy markets and an increasingly important sourcing origin for buyers with operations or supply chains in the region. Climatic Energy's portfolio covers solar, wind, and other renewable generation across multiple states, with certificates registered and tracked end-to-end through Evident.

Corporate Buyers

Scope 2 reporting, RE100 commitments, and CDP disclosure

I-RECs are recognised under the GHG Protocol's market-based Scope 2 method and are the certificate type accepted for RE100 and CDP Energy reporting. If your organisation has India operations, supply-chain emissions in the region, or a global Net Zero commitment, India-origin I-RECs directly address that geography.

GHG Protocol Scope 2 (market-based method) compliant
Accepted by RE100, CDP, and Science Based Targets
Traceable to specific generating facilities via Evident registry
Available for spot purchase or forward-contract supply

Trading Desks & Intermediaries

Bilateral access to India's I-REC market — without the registry complexity

For trading desks building I-REC positions or intermediaries sourcing on behalf of corporate clients, we offer direct bilateral negotiation and structured supply from a registered, active portfolio. No exchange dependency, no anonymous listings.

Direct bilateral negotiation — not an exchange listing
Forward-contract structures available for pipeline supply
300+ MW of C&I generation currently held for issuance
Evident Registrant and Participant — full registry accountability

What you get from working with Climatic Energy directly

01

Verified India-origin certificates

Every I-REC we sell is registered and issued through Evident, traceable to a specific generating facility, vintage period, and metered output — the documentation your compliance or audit process requires.

02

Direct counterparty, not an anonymous market

You deal with us directly as Registrant and Participant, not through a platform where the seller is unknown. That matters for compliance documentation and for building a long-term supply relationship.

03

Forward supply for pipeline certainty

Through our bilateral buyer network, we structure forward contracts for buyers who need supply certainty across a reporting period or fiscal year, rather than sourcing spot by spot.

04

A growing portfolio across multiple states and technologies

Our current C&I portfolio covers solar, wind, and other renewable generation across seven states in India — giving buyers geographic and technology diversity within a single counterparty relationship.

Tell us what you're sourcing — volume, vintage, geography, and whether spot or forward — and we'll come back with what's available.

Questions Generators Ask Us

What you need to know before registering your project

Does my project even qualify?

Eligibility depends mainly on metering quality, ownership documentation, and generation vintage — not on project size. We do a quick eligibility read before anything else, at no cost to you, so you know where you stand before committing time to the process.

Do I lose anything by registering — does this affect my existing PPA or tariff?

No. The I-REC is a separate, additional attribute layered on top of the power sale you've already contracted. Registering it doesn't touch your existing tariff arrangement or offtake agreement.

How long does registration actually take?

Timelines depend on how complete your existing metering and ownership documentation is. We scope this specifically during the eligibility review rather than quoting a generic figure that may not hold for your project.

How do you decide when to sell, and at what price?

We track buyer demand and pricing trends across our existing relationships and advise on timing rather than moving on the first offer received. You retain final sign-off on every transaction.

What do I actually receive at the end of a sale?

Payment, plus full transaction documentation: registry confirmation of issuance and transfer, and records suitable for your own accounting or disclosure purposes if needed.

Is this a one-time sale or an ongoing arrangement?

Both are possible. Many generators move to a recurring annual or seasonal cycle once the first registration is in place — there's no need to repeat the full process each time.

Find out what your project's I-RECs are worth — no cost to check.

Project Development Services

Getting a renewable energy project built is its own specialty.

Land aggregation, evacuation and grid-connectivity approvals, statutory clearances, and PPA procurement are the groundwork that determines whether a project gets built on time. We bring focused attention, an established local network, and on-ground capability to each of these workstreams, so they move forward steadily rather than waiting on us to get to them.

Talk to us about your project See what's included ↓

Our Approach

Focused attention, local network, and thorough diligence upfront

Rather than working to resolve problems as they surface, our approach is to carry out full due diligence at the outset — on land title, approval requirements, and offtake structuring — so that the issues which commonly slow projects down are identified and addressed before they become one.

What's Included

The groundwork that determines whether a project gets built on time

Each of these is a distinct workstream with its own process and timeline, requiring dedicated attention rather than being treated as a formality alongside construction.

01

Land aggregation

Identifying, assessing, and aggregating suitable land parcels for project development — including title verification, consolidation across multiple landholders, execution of sale or lease deeds, and handover of peaceful possession.

02

Evacuation & grid-connectivity approvals

Securing the approvals that determine whether a project can actually deliver power to the grid — a process that benefits from early, dedicated attention.

03

Statutory clearances

Navigating the state and central regulatory approvals a project needs before construction and commissioning, coordinated against the project's actual timeline rather than pursued as an afterthought.

04

PPA procurement

Identifying offtake counterparties and structuring and negotiating power purchase agreements that make a project bankable.

Supporting Capability

Engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) execution is available alongside these services for generators who want a single point of accountability from land to commissioning — though it is not the focus of this business line.

Where We Work

On-ground experience across India's most active renewable energy states

Land, approval, and connectivity processes are state- and region-specific. Our concentrated experience sits across these eight states.

Rajasthan

Uttar Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh

Maharashtra

Andhra Pradesh

Punjab

Haryana

Karnataka

Why This Matters

Diligence done early is what keeps a project on track

Experience

25+ years, combined

Combined leadership experience in renewable energy, regulatory navigation, and project execution in India.

Geographic Depth

Eight states, not a cold start

Concentrated, repeated experience navigating land, approval, and connectivity processes across the same key states.

For Annuity-Seeking Investors

A government-backed, long-duration income asset — not a business to run

For investors looking to deploy capital into a stable, contracted income stream over a long horizon. No industry background required — this is structured and delivered as a passive investment, not an operating business.

01

Government-backed contracted income, for up to 25 years

Returns are generated under long-term government offtake contracts, giving the investment a contracted, predictable income profile over a multi-decade horizon.

02

15 to 18% expected returns

Expected returns in the range of 15 to 18%, over a holding period of up to 25 years — a return profile suited to investors allocating long-horizon capital, not seeking a short-term trade.

03

Fully passive — capital and oversight only

Every operational aspect is handled on the investor's behalf from setup through to ongoing upkeep. The investor's role begins and ends with arranging the capital; there is no operational involvement required at any stage.

About Climatic Energy

Built on two decades of navigating corporate and regulatory complexity — now applied to renewable energy.

Climatic Energy LLP is an I-REC monetization specialist working with renewable energy generators across India. The firm was founded to bring the same rigor applied in corporate legal and transaction work to a market that rewards precision: registry compliance, contract structuring, and buyer negotiation.

Our Story

Why Climatic Energy exists

Most renewable energy generators in India are well equipped to build and operate a project, but far less equipped to capture the full commercial value sitting inside it. The environmental attributes generated alongside every megawatt-hour of power are a separate, sellable asset — and registering, structuring, and selling them requires a specific kind of expertise that most generators don't have in-house and don't need full-time.

Climatic Energy was founded to fill exactly that gap: a dedicated partner that handles I-REC registration and sale end to end, so generators can capture revenue that would otherwise go unclaimed, without having to build that capability themselves.

The firm's approach is shaped by founder Vinod Kawatra's background as in-house counsel — over two decades spent structuring transactions, managing regulatory compliance, and negotiating commercial agreements across multiple industries, including solar power. That background informs how Climatic operates: registry standing and documentation discipline are treated as seriously as the commercial negotiation itself, because in a market built on verifiable certificates, the two are inseparable.

Climatic Energy is registered with Evident as both Registrant and Participant, and currently holds 300+ MW of solar, wind, and other renewable C&I generation capacity for I-REC registration and sale.

Vinod Kawatra

Founder, Climatic Energy LLP

Vinod is an entrepreneur in the renewable energy sector, focused on sustainable development and India's Net Zero transition. He founded Climatic Energy in 2023 after more than 24 years as in-house counsel across the power (solar), real estate, automobile, and entertainment industries — experience that gives the firm a transaction- and compliance-led approach to I-REC monetization, rather than a purely commercial one.

Vinod holds professional qualifications as a Lawyer, Company Secretary, and Cost & Management Accountant. His experience centers on legal and commercial leadership — structuring transactions, negotiating agreements, and managing regulatory complexity across multiple industries. He has also served as an Independent Director of a renewable energy company.

How We Operate

What carries over from two decades of transaction work

Documentation Discipline

Registry standing, taken seriously

Every certificate we register and sell is backed by the same documentation rigor applied to any corporate transaction — not an afterthought to the commercial deal.

Direct Negotiation

Represented, not just listed

We negotiate sales directly on a generator's behalf, with exchange access available as an additional option where it suits a specific project.

Long-Term View

Built for standing relationships

Both with the generators we represent and the buyers we sell to — most engagements move toward a recurring cycle, not a single transaction.
