Steven Eisenberg, SRECTrade, Business Development
SRECTrade, Inc. focuses on three core areas within the Solar Renewable Energy Certificate (SREC) markets: transacting SRECs, developing useful software for market participants and providing detailed research and analysis on market trends. SREC programs are a key component of making solar energy affordable in a growing number of U.S. states. An SREC is credited for every megawatt-hour of electricity produced by a solar facility and can be sold to utility companies who need them to meet statewide solar energy requirements.
SRECTrade hosts monthly auctions for SRECs that serve as a leading tool for price discovery and one of the few public listings of SREC pricing in the industry. In addition to monthly auctions, SRECTrade works with a large institutional client base to broker spot and forward transactions between large sellers and utilities in the market. The software developed by SRECTrade is used by solar owners to track their portfolios and transactions, and by utilities to contract SRECs, enroll facilities, track generation and pay customers within solar procurement programs. Since 2008, SRECTrade.com has been one of the leading sources for information regarding SREC price trends and legislative updates, bringing a wealth of knowledge and transparency to some of the fastest growing state markets in the solar industry.
SRECTrade was founded in 2007 at Stanford University and is based in San Francisco, CA, with offices in Virginia and Vermont.
