11/14/2020 NJSREC.com New Jersey SREC Market News Letter We are socially distanced and are OPEN for BUSINESS in home offices and continue to help you monetize your SRECs transferred to us from the PJM-EIS GATs website. We hope you are all staying safe and healthy during these challenging times. The current New Jersey SREC Market is closed to new generators and reasonably stable. The NJSREC.com New Jersey SREC Market News Letter is typically sent quarterly however we have some important updates, hence, we are composing this edition. NJ SRECs: For clarification, if your solar system is registered in the SREC program, you will stay in the SREC program, through the assigned 10 or 15 year life assigned at the time of your NJ Clean Energy and utility interconnect approval. Your system will NOT switch to TRECs. NJ SRECs EXPIRING: The NJ 2016 Energy Year (EY) SRECs will be expiring in two weeks on 11/30/2020. We will stop accepting them the morning of 11/30/2020 or earlier if we fill our contracts. DIRECT DEPOSIT: You can now choose to have payment made by Direct ACH Deposit transfer to your account. Click this secure link to enter your information if you would like to use the Direct Deposit option (and have not already done so): https://ach.njsrec.com/ Note: When you submit your information, the secure link will acknowledge the information has been accepted. It is not necessary to ask us if we have received the information after entered. Also, once you have entered the information it is retained and there is no need to re-enter for future transactions. NJSREC.com NO FEE PRICES: You will always find our current prices posted on www.NJSREC.com We use the last date we made a price change as the “Effective Date” on the website. The prices you see posted are what you receive and NO FEE is charged on these SPOT Market transactions. You will typically get the best market prices if you transfer 2 or more SRECs. We encourage you to transfer at least 2 SRECs per total transfer. Larger amounts pay better. Single SREC transfers are costly for us to process and they pay less accordingly. Note: The prices posted on our site are the prices for 1-24 NJ SRECs. For 25+ total quantity you should request a price which will most likely be higher. If the prices you enter are close, for example if you get an energy year price wrong we will correct it lower or higher. (The vast majority of our corrections are higher. If you attempt to bid a price higher or if you enter a very low price, we will reject your transfer. Use this method to get our BEST PRICE for your SRECs. MULTI ENERGY YEAR PRICING: NJSREC.com allows you to receive the highest price based on the total quantity of SRECs you are transferring even if they are from two or more Energy Years. So for example, if you are transferring 4 SRECs from the 2020 EY and 7 SRECs from the 2021 Energy year, you are transferring 11 total SRECs and therefore can use the 11-24 price bracket for both Energy Years.

TRECs: We are NOT currently involved in the NJ TREC program which started this past April for new NJ Solar Systems. The program is based on a fixed price “TREC” with different prices for different system types. NJ Certification numbers for TRECs have a different format than SRECs. We will notify you if that changes. We do not provide TREC information. Contact NJ Clean Energy at 866-657-6278 or www.njcleanenergy.com for TREC information. NJ Class1 RECs: When your system has completed its NJ SREC qualification life, it will be eligible for NJ Class1 RECs. We will work with the Class1 Rec market from our sister site starting later in the first half of next year and will notify you when we do. NJ Class1 RECs are only valued at a few dollars each and the way we buy them will address this very different market. |
Our goal remains to update current New Jersey SREC market information so you may make an informed decision in selling your NJ SRECs. We provide a Marketplace for New Jersey SRECs and a platform on which to monetize them. |
GATs is currently minting SRECs 5 to 7 business days after generation is entered. You will not be able to transfer SRECs to us as soon as you enter generation. You must wait the 5 to 7 business days. When the SRECs are listed in CEPs in your Account Summary module on GATs, you have SRECs to sell. You can’t sell “unprocessed generation”. ALWAYs use “MONTH OF GENERATION”, NOT “MONTH OF CREATION” to determine the vintage of your SRECs.
The following chart indicates which “month of generation” belongs to each energy year (EY). Energy Years (EY) in New Jersey always run June through May.
