After careful consideration SRECTrade has made the decision to no longer provide Approved Vendor services for new Adjustable Block Program (ABP) eligible projects. This decision was made due to the increasing complexity and cost of servicing new assets under the ABP.
SRECTrade will continue to provide services for applications that were successfully submitted to SRECTrade’s portal before the June 15, 2022 closure. This includes applications that were originally submitted to SRECTrade as non-energized. Understanding that these non-energized applications require the energization information and documentation, SRECTrade will enable Part II of its application for existing customers to allow the submission of these materials. SRECTrade will announce this reopening date once all final changes to the application process have been announced by the IPA and new program administrator.
SRECTrade remains committed to servicing all existing ABP customers throughout the duration of their 15 year REC contract. Most importantly SRECTrade will continue to make payments to projects scheduled to receive first time or quarterly payments and to work with customers to ensure their systems are meeting their contracted REC obligations.
SRECTrade would like to thank you for your patience and understanding during this transition. SRECTrade looks forward to serving its Designees and existing clients during the remainder of their participation in the ABP.
On Tuesday, August 2nd, SRECTrade announced that it has surpassed 1 gigawatt (GW) of assets under management.
“This scale demonstrates SRECTrade is the preeminent provider in ensuring clients earn a return on their renewable energy investments,” said SRECTrade Managing Director Janet Mihalyfi. “The gigawatt spans more than 65,000 assets and facilities, including solar, wind, and thermal energy projects. To put this in perspective, 1 GW is equivalent to the electricity usage of approximately 170,000 homes per year.”
SRECTrade is the leading management and transaction platform for Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and clean transportation markets across North America. In California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program, SRECTrade is the largest independent manager of electric vehicle charging station carbon credits.
“Our expertise enables clients across a variety of complex markets and allows clean transportation, renewable energy, and other low carbon initiatives to be invested in with confidence,” said SRECTrade Managing Director Mike Saxton. “Reaching a carbon free future is possible with SRECTrade.”
“This achievement demonstrates SRECTrade’s leading capabilities across a variety of environmental commodity markets,” said Xpansiv CEO Joe Madden. “It is an integral part of our burgeoning environmental infrastructure.”
SRECTrade’s customers include competitive electricity and fuel suppliers, utilities, clean transportation fleet operators, renewable energy developers and installers, and commercial, industrial, and residential asset owners.
