Chart of the week | REGO rebound: Prices to rise on COVID recovery

We recently published the findings from the January 2021 edition of our Green Certificates Survey. The survey, which had 62 respondents from 59 distinct organisations, is designed to provide greater market transparency for Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGO), Continental Guarantees of Origin (GoOs) and Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGO) certificate markets. The survey provides aggregated views on certificate pricing levels, demand and supply trends and sentiment on the future market trajectory.

This ‘Chart of the week’ looks at survey participants’ latest views on REGO prices, as well as the evolution of prices since December 2019. Figure 1 compares the average response for current trading values for REGOs over Fuel Mix Disclosure (FMD) years 2020-21 and 2021-22 from our past five surveys.
