Who buys Pennsylvania AECs?
Pennsylvania AECs are generally purchased by EDCs (Electric Distribution Companies) and EGSs (Electric Generation Suppliers) in order to meet the percentages required under the PA AEPS for any given energy year. Please refer to the Overview page of the website to see the percentages required for each Tier. Other buyers may include aggregators and brokers, renewable energy marketers, private businesses and individuals interested in supporting the development of solar energy. A list of electric suppliers that are required to purchase AECs, interested ‘aggregators’ and brokers is available on the website. Additionally, the website will list the weighted average price for AECs, updated periodically, to inform buyers and sellers of the going price as this information is made available.
