The California Energy Commission (CEC) has selected the APX Environmental Registry & Banking solution for its Western Renewable Energy Generation Information System (WREGIS) project, signing a multi-year agreement for APX to provide the WREGIS system technology and services.
The APX Environmental Registry & Banking solution will track and register WREGIS Certificates that will be the basis for renewable energy certificate (REC) trading across the Western Electricity Coordinating Council region served by WREGIS. Project implementation is already underway.
"With APX environmental market systems already in place in PJM, ERCOT and New England, our selection for the West establishes the APX Environmental Registry & Banking solution as the system of choice coast-to-coast for states managing Renewable Portfolio Standards, Energy Efficiency, and Conservation programs," said APX Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Lewis.

The system also records ownership and facilitates transfers of the certificates to support the effective operation and integrity of renewable energy and environmental markets.
