We’re pleased to share RECCo’s Budget for 2025-26, which outlines our financial projections for the year ahead, along with estimates for the two subsequent years. The budget reflects the necessary investments to improve the quality of our services, deliver on our portfolio of programmes, enhance our internal resources, and fund the costs of the services we manage on behalf of the industry.
The development of the Budget followed the closure of the consultation window for RECCo’s draft Forward Work Plan and budget for 2025-2028. It has been shaped by the feedback received from REC Parties and carefully considered by the RECCo Board.
