EUROPEX is a supporting association of the RECS Market Meeting 2012 that will take place in Amsterdam on 21 and 22 March.
The focus of the conference is about the origin of demand: consumers. The key question to be addressed in the 2012 RECS Market Meeting will be: “Who is purchasing renewable electricity and why?”
According to RECS, it’s important for consumers to know that renewable electricity is robust and reliable, and that is why the RECS Market Meeting focuses on the Guarantee of Origin (GO) – the tool that makes the market for renewable electricity transparent.
