The SREC-II program is designed to purchase SRECs at a competitive, fixed price for ten (10) years

Program Description

Atlantic City Electric Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company, and Rockland Electric Company periodically issue RFPs to select solar projects with which to enter into contracts for the purchase of SRECs at fixed price for ten (10) years. If you are ready to install a new Solar PV system, you can participate in this program by responding to the RFPs.

Proposals are solicited under three program segments:

Segment 1: Residential/Small Commercial — Net-Metered residential and small commercial PV projects less than or equal to 50 KW

— Net-Metered residential and small commercial PV projects less than or equal to 50 KW Segment 2: Commercial — Net-Metered solar PV projects greater than 50 kW up to 2 MW (Note: 2MW cap is currently lifted, see RFP Bid Rules for details)

Net-Metered solar PV projects greater than 50 kW up to 2 MW (Note: 2MW cap is currently lifted, see RFP Bid Rules for details) Segment 3: Utility-Scale — Grid-supply solar PV projects certified by the BPU as located on closed landfills, brownfields, or areas of historic fill.

The total number of SRECs that the EDC will purchase over the entire term is limited to a base cap of 1,350 kWh of solar generation per KW DC per year over a period of 10 years. For example, a 10 KW project with a 10 year SREC contract would be limited to selling 135 SRECs over the term.
