As outlined in the AEPS Act, facilities participating in the AEPS program may not qualify for alternative energy system status without an annual certificate of compliance with applicable environmental regulations and the standards outlined in the Act. See 52 Pa. Code § 75.62(f).

Failure by PA AEPS registered facilities to complete the compliance certification and attestation and to include the status of ongoing environmental obligations, as well as disclosing any environmental violations and resolutions thereof, may result in non-compliance with the PA AEPS statutory requirement that the DEP sets to ensure that all qualified alternative energy sources meet all applicable environmental standards. See 73 P.S. § 1648.7(b). Non-compliance may result in your facility’s de-certification from the PA AEPS program and the forfeiture of credits earned. The attestations are due in January of each year for the prior year
