Get this Definitive Study of the International Renewable Energy Certificate -REC- Market.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c19258) has announced the addition of The Market for Renewable Energy Certificates 4th Edition to their offering.

Now more than ever, the public is making its preference for environmentally sensitive products clear. It's a revolution known as green consumerism. Symbolic behaviors of green consumerism include recycling, preferential buying of organic products, and implementation of energy efficiency measures among others. This customer behavior has prompted the advent of specialty companies and now it's starting to make an impact on electricity generation.

Green power technologies, such as wind or solar power, have been around for years, yet many utilities don't include them as part of their power mix. As a matter of fact, many actually see customer demand for green power as a nuisance. It means they have to build a green power generating facility, develop a green pricing program, market the benefits of this power, and develop customer service infrastructure to handle the new product. Not to mention that green power is more expensive to generate than fossil fueled power.

The 4th Edition of The Market for Renewable Energy Certificates Report is a definitive 115-page study of the international Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) market.
