April 11 - CEE-UT held a Think Day on "Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) Trading in Texas and in the U.S. " CEE has been looking at portfolio standards and REC trading as models for dealing with carbon regulation and promoting low carbon technologies. At the Think Day, Dr. Gülen provided background on how REC trading became popular around the nation and identified some challenges for creating standards and expanding regional markets. Mr. Mike Sloan of Virtus Energy provided the history of Texas RPS and REC market, identifying several issues going forward. Dr. David Hurlbut of National Renewable Energy Laboratory presented national trends in renewable energy and the role of REC markets. His presentation was followed by a talk by Mr. Sakis Asteriadis of APX, a company which has developed most of the trading platforms for RECs around the country, on trends with trading RECs, energy efficiency certificates and eventually carbon offsets. After the presentations, Mr. Jess Totten of the Public Utility Commission of Texas led a discussion on moving forward with these environmental markets.
