About the conference

Since 2011, when Xcel Energy launched the event then known as “Face Plant,” this gathering has become a cornerstone for energy professionals. The North American Energy Markets Association (NAEMA) is proud to continue this legacy with NAEMA’s East Meets West 2025, hosted by Xcel Energy at the Hythe in Vail, Colorado.

Set in the iconic mountain town of Vail, this year’s event combines industry insights with the unique backdrop of a community rich in history and alpine culture. Founded in 1962, Vail was established by World War II veterans from the 10th Mountain Division who trained in the nearby mountains. Drawn by the area’s pristine slopes and scenic beauty, they transformed it into a premier ski destination that would grow into one of North America’s largest ski resorts. Over the decades, Vail has retained its spirit of adventure while expanding to include world-class dining, shopping, and year-round outdoor activities.

The Hythe, a luxury resort inspired by Vail’s skiing legacy, offers an ideal venue with mountain views, après-ski lounges, and an adventure concierge ready to guide guests through the area’s rich landscape. Join NAEMA members and industry leaders from across the U.S. and Canada in Vail to advance NAEMA’s mission of fostering a dynamic and thriving energy marketplace.

Webinar Recording: Partnering with S&P – Empowering Renewable Energy Markets, The Impact of Emissions Adjusted RECs

Hosted by REsurety and S&P Global Commodity Insights

Emissions adjusted

Renewable energy certificates (RECs) play a crucial role in steering investments toward renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro. However, despite their importance, the current REC market often lacks transparency regarding the actual emissions impact of these certificates. Buyers aiming to reduce their carbon footprint may not fully understand the real-world impact of their REC purchases, leading to inefficiencies in pricing and market adoption.

This webinar, hosted by S&P Global Commodity Insights and REsurety shed light on the current dynamics of the REC market. We introduced the concept of Emissions Adjusted RECs and discussed how integrating emissions data can revolutionize REC markets, enabling more accurate and impactful trading opportunities.

Key Takeaways

  • Understanding the current REC market and its challenges.
  • Introduction to Emissions Adjusted RECs and their benefits.
  • Insights into the future of renewable energy trading.
