Reminder regarding second RFP -- PECO anticipates conducting a second Tier 1 Non-Solar RFP in the Fall of 2008. PECO will issue a news release to announce the second RFP and will post updates to this website at that time.
All information on this website is subject to change upon PECO's sole discretion.
INTRODUCTION
PECO is 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. 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").

Suppliers interested in submitting a proposal to supply AECs to PECO must be registered to do business with Exelon.

- 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.
