Monthly Update of Solar Generator Certification

As of March 1st, the solar energy systems eligible for the District’s RPS solar requirement include 16,860 solar systems (including 428 CREFs) in the District.  Total District solar certifications have increased by about 18% compared to the same period last year.  Change in total solar energy appears low as a result of the decertification of solar PV and solar thermal systems that were not on distribution feeder serving the District per the Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Amendment Act of 2024. Recent pricing on Flett Exchange show DC SRECs are currently trading around $410.  The recent bid price on SRECTrade is $415.
