Recs International welcomes three new members: GGNE, Optiment and SCB Group.

RECS International is pleased to see the large interest in the yearly conference, the REC Market Meeting. This shows that the significance of the role of consumers in the renewable energy transition is being recognised by actors throughout the industry, from producers to traders to consumers and other stakeholders. 

Those who work with the Guarantee of Origin are anxiously following the developments of the upcoming Renewable Energy Directive (REDII). The European Commission, Parliament and Council have now moved forward into the next phase of the negotiations: the trialogues.
