Platts proposes to discontinue some Massachusetts, California REC assessments
Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, proposes to discontinue some Massachusetts and California Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) price assessments, effective Nov. 26, 2025.
In Massachusetts, the current legislation phased out solar carve-out 1, and solar generation will now be included as part of Class 1 RECs, which are currently assessed by Platts.
Platts is also proposing to discontinue the California REC Prior Year Bucket 1, Bucket 2 and Bucket 3 price assessments due to the lack of liquidity associated with prior vintages, as feedback shows market participants are interested in vintages for current and future compliance years. Platts suspended these assessments Oct. 30, in a subscriber note available here.
The symbols proposed to be discontinued are as follows:
