On 3 December, Senior Managing Director Benjamin Chee, Senior Analyst Jane Kim, and Analysts Steven Li and Hannah Farrell will speak at the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) Market Dynamics symposium in “Compliance Market Case Study—Example of a VPPA Used in the Compliance Market.” The team, led by Mr. Chee, will explore considerations for utility counterparties as well as contract design considerations and negotiations.

Public demand for renewable energy solutions to address decarbonization and climate change objectives has increased the value of RECs. This symposium will examine the formation and influence of voluntary and compliance REC markets, with a focus on regulation, policy, and consumer awareness. Speakers will analyze active and emerging REC markets in the US, highlighting financial considerations and trends in utility markets, green pricing programs, and corporate renewable procurement. The symposium will also provide insights into strategies for optimizing the transactional value of RECs, and attendees will discuss how independent system operators and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission initiatives could impact REC pricing and other renewable energy market products.
