Green Energy Trading is pleased to support the formation of the REC Agents Association (RAA), which has been established to represent and self-regulate the activities of businesses creating and trading Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs).

RAA will work closely with the Australian Government and the new Clean Energy Regulator to monitor and improve compliance by Agents with relevant Acts, and to provide advice to the statutory review of the Renewable Energy Target (RET). RAA will work with members of Federal Parliament and key stakeholders on issues affecting Agents.

RAA will be a strong public advocate for the RET and other market based schemes, and will address some of the misinformation around the cost and effectiveness of these schemes.

Varying levels of membership will accommodate large and small Agents.

The inaugural Board of the RAA includes four of the leading REC Agents in Australia: Ric Brazzale, President (Managing Director of Green Energy Trading), Fiona O’Hehir, Vice President (Greenbank Environmental), Geoffrey Alexander, Treasurer (COZero) and Stephen Coleman (RET Australia).
