To conclude the RECS Market Meeting 2026, we will reflect on the conference overall and consider whether we have a clearer understanding of the fundamental questions: Do voluntary renewables markets effectively support the energy transition we need? One group of speakers in this session will contend that EACs will have only a marginal impact. The other will argue that although renewables markets are imperfect, they are already impactful and can achieve more if given the opportunity. Delegates will leave this session and the conference energised and informed to advocate for and succeed in advancing renewables markets.
