certificate (REC)

Renewable energy

KUMA Brakes is proud to have purchased Hydro-Québec Renewable Energy Certificates. In purchasing RECs, we have become the sole owner of the environmental attributes associated with our use of 100% renewable electricity sourced from local renewable wind energy. The number of RECs purchased corresponds to the amount of MWh our facilities consume within a year for the manufacture of parts intended for the wind sector. The purchase of these RECs, confirms KUMA Brakes commitment to renewable energy and sustainable development.
