Maryland GRECs: Non Residential Applications

How do I apply for certification as a non-residential Geothermal Renewable Energy Facility?

Reach out to us and we will walk you through all the documents required to be registered. We will have you complete a form to get us all the information about your system that is needed to apply. We will complete your state and tracking registration on your behalf.

What is the deadline for submitting non-residential applications?

A deadline for submitting non-residential applications for each calendar year is Dec 31. If a system wishes to receive credit for energy saving in a particular year, it must submit a complete application by the deadline for that calendar year. If the applicant misses a deadline, the system will deem ineligible for credits. No back dated credits will be issued. The applicant will have to re-apply the following year.

What is the next step after submitting the application?

We will submit your application to PSC Staff for approval.  Approved applicants will be awarded the RECs and issued a Maryland renewable energy facility certification number. CSG will then register your system with PJM GATS and begin minting RECs.

What is PJM GATS?

PJM GATS means the Generation Attribute Tracking System (GATS). A Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) is created for every megawatt-hour of electricity generated. GATS enables resource owners to convert power into tradable RECs.
