About the AEPS Act

The Alternative Energy Portfolio Standards Act of 2004 (AEPS) requires electric distribution companies (EDC) and electric generation suppliers (EGS) include a specific percentage of electricity from alternative energy resources in the generation that they sell to Pennsylvania customers. EDCs and EGSs meet this requirement by utilizing alternative energy Credits (AECs) generated by qualified alternative energy sources to demonstrate compliance with the AEPS Act. The PennAEPS website facilitates the registration and certification of alternative energy facilities.
