The PJM Interconnection is a regional transmission organization. It serves to connect the electricity produced by the various utilities across a region. In several states, the Renewable Portfolio Standard legislation lets utilities count renewable electricity produced within the PJM region towards meeting the state’s renewable goals.
In Pennsylvania, for example, a resident within the PJM region can apply for certification in the Pennsylvania SREC program. If your system is convered in this map, you can sell SRECs to PA!
