Your clean energy, certified and traded
Every megawatt-hour of renewable generation carries environmental value as a certificate. NexusCore brokers LGCs, STCs and renewable energy certificates, handling creation, registration and trading so you capture this revenue or retire credits to back genuine sustainability claims.

Renewable energy certificates represent the environmental attribute of clean generation, separate from the electricity itself, and they trade in active Australian markets. Large-scale Generation Certificates, or LGCs, are created by accredited power stations and large commercial systems for each megawatt-hour generated. Small-scale Technology Certificates, or STCs, are produced upfront by smaller solar, heat pump and storage installations. NexusCore acts as your broker across both, managing accreditation, registration, creation and the sale or strategic retirement of certificates so the environmental value of your investment is realised rather than left on the table.
For generators, certificates are a recurring revenue stream that improves project economics and shortens payback. For energy buyers, sourcing and retiring certificates is how genuine renewable claims are substantiated, underpinning credible carbon and renewable-energy commitments. We sit between those needs, matching supply and demand and timing transactions to market conditions so both sides capture value.
LGCs, STCs and how they differ
STCs are calculated and created at installation, providing an upfront benefit that effectively discounts smaller systems. LGCs accrue over time as accredited systems generate, creating an ongoing income stream tied to actual output. The two markets behave differently, with distinct pricing dynamics and registration processes, and capturing full value means understanding both. We handle the accreditation and reporting each pathway demands.
- Accredit eligible systems for certificate creation
- Register and create LGCs against metered generation
- Calculate and assign STCs at installation
- Trade certificates to capture favourable market pricing
- Source and retire certificates for verified offset claims
Timing the market
Certificate prices move with policy, demand and supply, and selling at the right moment materially affects returns. As an active broker, NexusCore monitors these markets and advises when to sell, hold or contract forward. For buyers, we secure certificates that meet your reporting standards at competitive prices, ensuring the offsets you retire are genuine and traceable.
Compliance and reporting
Creating and trading certificates carries registry obligations and audit expectations. We manage the registry accounts, generation reporting and documentation so your certificates are valid, your transactions are clean, and your sustainability claims withstand scrutiny.

REC Brokerage questions
STCs are created upfront for smaller systems based on expected generation, giving an immediate financial benefit. LGCs are created over time by accredited larger systems for each megawatt-hour actually generated, providing ongoing income. The two trade in separate markets with different pricing and rules.
Possibly. Smaller systems usually received STCs at installation, while larger accredited systems can create LGCs against metered output. We assess your system's eligibility, handle any accreditation required, and set up the registration so you capture certificates you are entitled to.
Retiring certificates is how organisations substantiate genuine renewable-energy and carbon claims, because each retired certificate cannot be double-counted. We source verified certificates and manage their retirement so your sustainability reporting is credible, traceable and defensible against audit.
Prices are set by supply, demand and policy settings in active markets, and they move over time. As a broker we monitor these dynamics and advise when to sell, hold or contract forward, so you transact at favourable points rather than accepting whatever the spot price happens to be.
