About this episode

Total renewables penetration targets in Europe require a "common currency" which provides a reliable price signal against which the cost of different technologies and renewable paths can be assessed.

In this Platts Future Energy Podcast episode, Glenn Rickson, Head of European Power Analytics, is joined by Energy Transition experts in the Platts Pricing team to discuss the scope of the Guarantees of Origin markets.
