Solar renewable energy certificates settled at $97.75 today on the Flett Exchange SREC marketplace. This price is for immediate delivery and payment for the 2012 reporting year SRECs. The new 2013 reporting year SRECs settled at $100. This is the first time that prompt year New Jersey SRECs have settled under $100 for since May 1, 2012. The energy year 2012 SRECs traded as low as $95 during the session.
Prices have dropped because developers installed more solar than the aggressive solar mandates in New Jersey. Reporting year 2012 compliance called for 442,000 SRECs to be purchased by electric providers. Solar installations generated 689,550 SRECs, or 56% more than needed.
Buyers are still buying for their energy year 2012 compliance which ends in a few weeks. Prices do have a chance of spiking up if they have not yet purchased all they need. Flett Exchange customers can place orders above the market to take advantage of upward price spikes.
The requirements were increased significantly with the passage of the new bill last month. However, the excess SRECs do not need to be turned in until the Fall of 2014. Electric companies who need to buy SRECs are most likely waiting to see if installations over the next year stay in line with the State requirements. Developers installed 21 mw in July. This is a decrease from previous months. Installation totals will need to stay at this level or lower to decrease the likelihood of another oversupply.
Flett Exchange customers have access to the SREC market 24 hours a day via its trading platform and also broker assisted trades Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm. Sellers on Flett Exchange have sold SRECs as high as $160 since the beginning of July.
