PA AECs require Solar PV.
On October 30, 2017, Pennsylvania passed legislation to end the eligibility of any solar systems that are not Pennsylvania-sited for the PA SREC market (otherwise known as AECs). Those systems are eligible to enter the PA Tier I REC market.
An AEC is created each time a qualified alternative energy facility produces 1,000 kWh of electricity. The AEC is then sold or traded separately from the power and allows EDCs and EGSs to procure AECs to meet their compliance obligations. Solar Alternative Energy Credits (AECs) are similar to SRECs but in the state of Pennsylvania.
Currents serves as a broker between certified alternative energy generators (homes and businesses with solar) and Pennsylvania’s electricity distribution companies (EDCs) or electricity generation suppliers (EGSs). Ohio-based homeowners can sign up for the generation and sales of PA Tier 1 RECs.
AECs are tracked and transferred using the PJM Environmental Information Services Inc. (PJM-EIS) Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS).
