State Market Observations:
Delaware: Current vintage DE SRECs traded at $25/SREC- up from $10 in the previous auction. The DE SREC market is highly illiquid. The primary buyer for DE SRECs is Delmarva Power and Light (DPL). Most SRECs are sold through DPL’s SRECDelaware program, for which SREC asset owners submit competitive applications in order to obtain 20 year SREC contracts. There continues to be some need for SRECs outside of DPL’s program and compliance buyers with a need for DE sited but non-DPL derived demand will decline over time. SRECTrade administers both the DPL spot auction as well as the software behind the the SRECDelaware solicitations.
Maryland: All eligible MD SREC vintages sold in the August auction. As SRECs age they tend to become less valuable and demand for older vintages tends to decrease. MD2011s, MD2012s and MD2013s transacted at $122.00, $128.00, and $133.00/SREC in the August auction.
Massachusetts: The August SRECTrade auction sold available 2013 vintage SRECs at $236.62. This occurred ahead of news on 2012 vintage SRECs deposited in the MA Solar Credit Clearinghouse Auction. For the latest info on the MA market read our MA blog posts.
New Jersey: NJ2012, NJ2013, and NJ2014 SRECs traded at $116.00, $121.00, and $130.00/SREC, respectively. Pricing for the 2012 and 2013 vintages represent slight increases from the July auction. This period was the first period in which NJ2014s transacted through our auction.
Ohio: The Ohio Adjacent market tends to mimic the PA SREC market. OH2013 adjacent vintage SRECs traded at $13/SREC, the same price as equivalent vintage SRECs in the PA market. OH2013 Sited SRECs traded at $40 and continues to experience minimal demand.
Pennsylvania: PA2011s, PA2012s, PA2013s, and PA2014s traded at $4.01, $5.01, $13.00 and $13.00/SREC respectively. SREC oversupply has kept pricing low.
Washington, DC: DC SRECs continues to see high transaction values relative to the $500 SACP. DC2012 and 2013 vintage SRECs traded up to $480.00/SREC. It is expected the market will continue to experience under supply into the 2013 trading year.
