Focus of the Event:

• Adjustments to national support systems leading to more transparency.
• Opportunities for producers, traders, suppliers and consumers.

The New RES Directive - a new opportunity for the renewable energy trade market

The market for renewable energy is still growing very fast. The last two years the total volume doubled and the expectations for 2009 are even more than doubling. In 2008 a total volume of 300 TWh is to be expected in comparison to 139 TWh in 2007.

However, the market is heavily influenced by national and European energy policy. Looking at the new RES Directive we can conclude that the market for renewable energy in Europe will change.

The trade aspect is one of the main issues in the political debate. One thing is for sure; the systems for the certificates will be strengthened. All parties involved agree about the fact that an electronical and standardised certificate system must facilitate international trade.

There are three main reasons to participate in REXchange:

Give your trade of renewable energy in Europe a value!

· Learn more about the new cooperation mechanisms that will stimulate international trade of renewable energy

· Understand the sustainability of renewable energy, how this will influence the international trade of renewable energy. This includes the calculations on CO2 and additionality.

· Gain awareness about the guarantees of origin system and what changes can be expected.

REXchange 2009 will attract international experts, policy makers, interest groups, users and traders to meet on the common ground of policy and market.
