Annual Report 2021

Welcome to this review of RECC’s activities in 2021!

I hope you will find the information in the Annual Report interesting and useful. This report describes the huge body of work that RECC carried out in 2021. For most of the year the COVID 19 restrictions remained in place which make our achievements all the more noteworthy. Thanks go to the RECC team members who have worked tirelessly throughout

Thanks also go to our 2,000 plus Code members who supported us throughout the year. We couldn't have done any of it without you! You installed a record number of renewable energy generators during the year, which is remarkable, given the circumstances in which you were working.

In the Annual Report you will find our activities broken down into sections including: Code Membership, Monitoring Compliance with the Code, Enforcing Compliance with the Code and Consumer Complaints.
