Community Solar Origination Senior Analyst, ENGIE North AmericaThe surge of public demand for renewable energy solutions to address de-carbonization and climate change objectives has pushed up the value and importance of renewable energy credits (RECs). How utilities, load serving entities and corporate power consumers source their RECs is now a business in its own right. It requires meticulous awareness as well as attention to the nuances of REC procurement, markets and trading.
This symposium will dive into the dynamics of both voluntary and compliance REC markets, with particular emphasis on how they are formed and influenced through regulation, policy and evolving consumer awareness and demand. REC market experts will characterize active and emerging REC markets in the U.S., emphasizing key financial and contractual considerations. They will interpret trends and dynamics in regulated and retail utility markets and green pricing programs, along with corporate renewable procurement through power purchase agreements (PPAs). The program will offer insight into the important REC processes that utilities and corporate REC participants must perfect – such as verification, certification, system administration, and appropriate financial structuring – to achieve their optimum transactional value.
