INTRODUCTION
PECO is again soliciting proposals for Alternative Energy Credits (AECs) from Tier I non-solar alternative energy sources, as defined in the Pennsylvania Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards (AEPS) Act of 2004, currently known as Pennsylvania Act 129. These sources include wind, low-impact hydropower, methane (coal mine or biologically derived), geothermal energy, biomass energy, and fuel cells.
An AEC equals one megawatt-hour of qualified alternative energy generation. PECO is seeking bids for AECs only, not for energy or capacity.
Successful bidders must deliver all AECs as certificates through the PJM Generation Attribute Tracking System ("PJM GATS").
REGISTRATION
Suppliers interested in submitting a proposal to supply AECs to PECO must be registered to do business with Exelon.
- If your organization has not previously registered with Exelon, please register and select "4_Special Projects_AEPS" as the applicable category during the registration process.
- If your organization is already registered with Exelon, please update your existing profile by selecting "4_Special Projects_AEPS" as an additional applicable category.
You will receive an e-mail afterwards confirming your registration. PECO reserves the right to determine eligibility of all bidders.
If you have any problems during the registration process, please send an e-mail to AEPS_RFP@peco-energy.com that includes the details of your issue. A representative of our team will contact you as soon as possible to assist you.
