EE projects are evaluated on a project-by-project basis based on the energy saving calculations provided in the PUC Technical Reference Manual (TRM). The PA AEPS Administrator evaluates the project and outlines the number of AECs the project qualifies for, details how/when the AECs are earned, and calculates credit depreciation for each energy year. 

The PA AEPS Administrator also determines whether to issue the AECs in one batch. If so, the certification number issued for the project would only be used once.
