Nodal Exchange and IncubEx announced today they will launch three new Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) futures on December 3, 2019, pending regulatory review.
Nodal Exchange will list: Texas Compliance Green-e® Eligible REC Vintage Specific Front Half futures, Texas Compliance Green-e® Eligible REC Vintage Specific Back Half futures and New Jersey Class II REC futures. These futures contracts are only available on Nodal Exchange and feature vintages offered out to 2025.
Additionally, Nodal will expand vintages out to 2025 for many of its existing REC and North American carbon futures and options, including California carbon allowances and Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative allowances.
The new Texas and New Jersey REC contracts, developed by IncubEx and Nodal Exchange, were created in response to customer feedback.

“We strive to meet the needs of our marketplace and are excited about the opportunity to innovate and lead in listing REC futures,” said Paul Cusenza, Chairman and CEO of Nodal Exchange. “The growing environmental markets are an increasingly important sector that we are privileged to serve.”
The new contracts will add to the environmental contract list from IncubEx and Nodal, which now features 27 REC contracts, California and RGGI carbon contracts and SO2 and NOx Emissions futures.
