This opening keynote session will establish the tone and standard for the conference's new approach to addressing the significant issues facing renewables markets. In this session, one group of speakers will argue that voluntary markets are already providing significant benefits to the energy transition, while another group will contend that only compliance mechanisms can create the rapid impact necessary for a successful switch to renewables. The moderator will summarise the debate and invite delegates to continue the discussion into the conference’s first networking break.
Renewables markets at a crossroads
Join industry veterans and newcomers to navigate the evolving landscape of renewable markets amidst heightened scrutiny during the 14th edition of the RECS Market Meeting.
2-3 June 2026
Prague, The Czech Republic
Global expert meeting on renewable markets
Now or Never!
Renewables markets at a crossroads
A critical moment for renewables. At the same time as the business case for renewables becomes stronger than ever, governments around the world are limiting efforts to build sustainable energy systems. The climate crisis does not slow down, but mitigation efforts are off track. Designed to spark decisive dialogue and action, this year’s event will help shape not only your understanding of the role of EACs but also the future trajectory of global renewable energy markets.
A record of success.
For well over a decade, the RECS Market Meeting has stood as a leading forum for renewable energy professionals. Each year, the event continues to grow, bringing together an increasing number of delegates, experts, and industry leaders from across the renewable energy sector.
Following two remarkable years at the Beurs van Berlage and a long tradition of hosting in Amsterdam, RMM2026 will embark on a new chapter at the Prague Conference Centre in Prague, the Czech Republic. Along with a great new venue, this event will enjoy a new programme structure, new session styles, and new prospects for delegates and sponsors.
The 2026 edition will challenge assumptions, inspire new thinking, and drive meaningful progress in how EACs can support consumer demand for renewables.
Join us in Prague for insightful sessions, inspiring speakers, and unparalleled networking with professionals shaping the future of renewable energy.

Parallel session 2B | Beyond renewable power | PoS, GO, national certificates, or something new to unite them all?
In the conference's first renewable gas session, delegates will hear from two sets of skilled speakers. They will debate the role of various biomethane certificate schemes and markets, or whether confusion undermines these markets, suggesting that we should instead opt for one 'super' certificate to cover all uses. Delegates will have the opportunity to learn about the expanding biomethane market and its potential future developments, both positive and negative.
