Ohio SREC Market
The Ohio SREC market is still in the early phases. This is the first year of the RPS and since the markets between Ohio and Pennsylvania are interchangeable, this market should act similar to Pennsylvania as SRECs from either state can be registered in the other. Meanwhile, the SACP is very similar to Maryland, so look to Maryland pricing to see how it compares.
