Given overwhelming support for our proposals, we will bring REC v1.1 into force in order to further develop the governance, change management and performance assurance for the REC and to transfer the management of energy theft related schemes to the REC and its governance. We will make these changes to the REC through the change management provisions of REC v1.0 (clause 11), using Ofgem governance groups. Accordingly, we have issued a change request to the Regulatory Group of the Switching Programme. This also includes updated versions of the REC Main Body and Schedules that constitute version 1.1.

Update 8 February 2021: The Chair of the Regulatory Group confirmed to members that the changes were approved following full consultation and Regulatory Group input. This confirmation makes the changes to the REC effective as REC v1.1. REC v1.1 documents are now available below as subsidiary documents.

Update 9 April 2021: REC v1.1 was designated as taking effect on 15 January 2021.
