Renewable energy markets and energy attribute certificates have long proven their ability to track the ownership of energy attributes robustly and reliably from producer to consumer. By doing this, they enable consumers to choose the type of energy they prefer to purchase and also give renewable generators supplementary income. But what more could, and should, they be doing? In this session, a panel of industry experts will make the case for investing in impact, not only for renewables, but also for people and the planet.
Rec market meeting 2025
Investing in Impact
Join industry veterans and newcomers to navigate the evolving landscape of renewable markets amidst heightened scrutiny and high European GO prices during the 13th edition of the REC Market Meeting 2025.

REC Market Meeting: Investing in Impact
Investing in Impact
The 2025 REC Market Meeting will take place at a time when businesses and governments are planning for the next decade of climate action. Public and private bodies are implementing their climate and energy programmes targeting 2030, and we already know that they will not be enough. By 2040, most of the world, and certainly all industrialised countries, will need to be entirely decarbonised. As we shift our focus to the next decade, we should all ask ourselves whether we are investing enough in efforts that safeguard the environment, society, and the economy. At RMM2025, RECS, our sponsors, supporting associations, and all delegates will contribute to answering this question. We will unite to demand that renewable energy markets invest in the solutions we need to benefit ourselves and our planet.
A record of success.
The REC Market Meeting has been a resounding success for well over a decade. Each year, we have seen an increase in the number of delegates attending the event, and in 2024, we filled our largest venue yet. We anticipate RMM2025 to be even bigger as renewable markets continue to grow and the conference offers even more. We are confident that the upcoming conference will be the best one yet.
Therefore, we urge you to book your spot without delay!

2a | Deep-dive – Is reshaping EU renewable markets necessary?
European renewable energy markets have been through a turbulent time in recent years. From regulatory changes to price fluctuations and from accusations of greenwashing to proposals for radical reform. During this session, speakers who are knowledgeable and experienced will discuss if the current approach of making incremental improvements in Europe’s renewable energy markets is enough or if we need to completely reshape these markets to achieve their potential impact.

2b | Overview – Are consumers driving renewable energy markets?
During this session, expert speakers will discuss whether consumers are contributing enough towards promoting the growth of renewables through energy attribute markets. Ours is a market with a mission – to help drive the energy transition, cut emissions, and tackle climate change. Although all markets must be economically sound, renewables markets have the potential to provide social and environmental advantages. Can consumers shape the market or does the market shape them? Alternatively, should legislators implement further regulations to ensure that renewables markets meet our shared objectives?

2c | Renewable Gas – Biomethane certification and GOs: what’s next?
The biomethane certification process can appear complicated due to the existence of multiple certificates serving different objectives. There are Guarantees of Origin (GOs), Proofs of Sustainability (PoS), and in some countries, national certificates. Understanding the roles and differences of each certificate can be challenging, especially for those who are new to the market. In this session, expert speakers will introduce the different biomethane attribute certificates and explain the practical aspects of how to use them. The panel will discuss how market participants and regulators could further develop this important sector.
Day 1

2d | Understanding the basics – How are energy certificates issued and why?
This session aims to introduce newcomers to renewable electricity markets to the fundamental concept of attribute tracking. Specifically, speakers in this session will explain why attribute tracking is important and will cover the first step in the process: how electricity certificates are issued. This session will kick-start the D-stream and prepare participants for the following sessions by laying the foundation for tracking energy attributes.
