Platts to discontinue several US Renewable Energy Certificates assessments Oct. 13

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will discontinue several US Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) price assessments, effective Oct. 13, 2025.

Platts initially proposed the discontinuation on July 7 in a subscriber note available here. These assessments are being discontinued to simplify Platts' portfolio of US REC assessments.

The Platts RECs assessments for front-half or back-half of a calendar year; RECs for Any Technologies; CRS-listed; or Green-e certified/eligible, where appropriate, will not be impacted by the change.

The full list of assessments being discontinued Oct. 13 can be found in the appendix here.

From the initial proposal, Platts will not move forward with the discontinuation of the following symbols in order to continue assessing these contracts and bring transparency to the Next Year Vintage in Texas:

The assessments currently appear in the fixed pages CLE3200, CLE3202, PEA0750, PEA0751, EVA3005, EVA3007, AGP2750 and AGP2751, as well as REC Daily and Megawatt Daily.
