What are RECs?

RECs are proof that energy has been generated from renewable electricity sources such as solar, hydro or wind power, and are the only way to verify the ownership and usage of renewable electricity placed on the grid.

A REC is another name for an Energy Attribute Certificate (EAC). It is an accounting instrument representing one megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity that conveys a property right over the environmental attributes of that MWh, such as a zero emissions factor.

Once a REC reaches the end consumer (beneficiary), the REC is retired (cancelled) in the registry so it cannot be double counted or double claimed.

Identity theft and fraud

What is identity theft and fraud?

Identity fraud is where someone impersonates You without Your knowledge or consent or uses Your personal information to obtain money, goods or services. More information on the types and incidences of identity fraud is available from the FCA website (opens in a new window), which contains tips on how to protect Yourself, what to do if it happens to You and contact details of organisations that can help.

How does identity theft and fraud occur?

It can occur when someone fraudulently represents a legitimate company – either online or by telephone – and tricks You into divulging personal information. A common method is phishing, the act of sending an email that fraudulently represents a legitimate company and lures You into revealing personal and financial information that could then be used for identity theft. In addition, these fraudulent emails may contain trojans or viruses.

A trojan is a computer programme that may seem innocent but has been designed to damage Your computer or send confidential information over the internet to another computer. A virus is a computer programme that runs on Your computer without Your knowledge. If You are in any doubt about whether an email is genuine do not open it or click on any links it contains.

How can I spot a scam or phishing email?

Initially, phishing emails look genuinely like those from financial services companies. They may have an official-looking logo and information taken from legitimate websites. However, there are things You should look out for:

Jacobi Asset Management, or its associates, will never contact You by telephone or email asking You to verify Your account details. You should not respond to any email asking You to verify Your account number or sign-on details, or seeking similar confirmations, which purports to be from Jacobi Asset Management.
Beware of links in emails. Always check financial websites carefully to make sure the web address is correct and is not spelt slightly differently.
Genuine emails from Jacobi Asset Management may contain links. However, we will not send any email with links to the online sign-in page.

What should I do if I have received a suspicious email?

Forward the suspicious email to jacobi@jacobiam.com
Delete the email.
Do not respond to or access any links contained within the email.
