The latest phase of Act 129 introduces updated savings targets for EDCs like PPL, PECO, and First Energy. Learn how these changes create new opportunities for Tier II REC generation.
Pennsylvania's AEPS creates two distinct credit classes. While Tier I RECs often trade below $5, Tier II credits have surged past $20 due to limited supply and growing compliance obligations.
LSEs must demonstrate AEPS compliance annually. As Phase V ratchets up Tier II requirements, LSEs face a choice: buy RECs or pay the $45/MWh ACP penalty.
