As part of its Electric Security Plan, FirstEnergy will periodically solicit proposals for Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs). Proposals were accepted for long-term contracts, and the recent short-term contract window has closed. Requests for proposals will not be available at regular intervals; check the program website for current information regarding application due dates. FirstEnergy will not be purchasing energy or energy capacity under this proposal. All application materials are available on the program website, and all applicants must be certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
