M-RETS is in an exciting and inspiring season of growth. Earlier this week, they announced a new multi-year agreement with Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) to move the Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS) to the M-RETS tracking platform. This means that the M-RETS platform will power more compliance and voluntary markets than any other registry in North America.

WREGIS and M-RETS have a shared vision to support renewable energy certificate (REC) markets. Partnerships like these will drive greater decarbonization in our economy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 2022/PRNewswire/ -- GTI, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) and S&P Global Platts today launched the Open Hydrogen Initiative (OHI), a new collaboration to further transparency into the environmental impact of hydrogen production and help unlock its full potential as an important driver of energy transitions.
