RECS is collaborating with ACT Group and SmartestEnergy to host a UK REGO Day that will bring producers, consumers, regulators and issuing bodies together in London this winter.
The UK REGO Day will be held on Thursday, 5 December 2024 from 10.00-17.00 at the Hilton London Canary Wharf Hotel.
The UK’s REGO market continues to show robust growth and dynamism with REGO being among the most valuable European Energy Attribute Certificates. The day’s program will dive deeply into the UK REGO market by covering volumes and prices, regulatory developments, the perception of REGOs in the UK, and full disclosure and other developments in REGO markets.
After the UK REGO day, registered delegates are invited to join RECS, ACT Group, and SmartestEnergy for drinks on Thursday, 5 December 2024 from 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM. Please note that this drinks event will have some snacks, but no dinner.
