ABA Teleconference "Using RECs for Compliance or Voluntary Trading -- Emerging Conflicts!" Wednesday, October 18, 2006 - Renewable Energy Resources Committee.
Meeting description: "The use of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) in voluntary and compliance markets continues to evolve. This teleconference will present a moderated panel discussion among industry experts regarding how current and potential future uses of RECs and the potential for those uses to conflict with other attribute trading programs and policy objectives. Panelists will present positions on the extent to which, if at all, environmental and regulatory compliance attributes associated with renewable electricity can (or should) be traded separate from the underlying electricity, whether such trading advances policy objectives and brings value to generators, utilities and their customers, and how RECs interrelate with other environmental policies such as NOx and SOx emission control programs."
