Hi, 

everybody, I'm working on a LEED CI project in China, and consider to purchase the RECs for "Tier 3: Off-site renewable energy" of this credit. The energy provider tell me they could sells Off-site renewable electricity for us and could also provide the APX TIGR Certificated electicity, is that acceptable to earn this point??

In addition, is there any other choice for the project which could buy the local renewable electricity and the electricicty could be proved from renewable sources and also could provide the local RECs contract and local RECs certificate but is not  certificated as Green-e?

As we all know the Green-e certificate is just for the Greenpower generation produced in US, I'm wondering if it is also reasonable for the project outside US to get the point which purchases the real renewable energy (from wind or photovoltaic powerstation) but the electricity is not Green-e certificated, that also contributes to the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions for real? and how is the  equivalent to Green-e defined?
