Is the SREC-Based Financing Program a loan program?

The SREC-Based Financing Program (“Program”) is not a loan program and does not provide payments specifically to offset the cost of the installation of solar panels. Rather, each EDC (ACE, JCP&L, and RECO) is contracting through this Program to purchase Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (“SRECs”) from solar projects. This, in turn, provides a stable revenue stream to facilitate independent financing through loans or other financing mechanisms for renewable projects development and installation. Each EDC only contracts for the purchase of SRECs for the term of the SREC Purchase and Sale Agreement, and not for energy or capacity.
