GRECs are issued through PJM-GATS for each MWh of thermal energy produced by a qualifying geothermal system. Emergent Energy handles the full registration process — MD PSC certification, PJM-GATS enrollment, credit aggregation, and market sale — at no upfront cost. A typical 4-ton residential system replacing natural gas generates approximately 430 GRECs per year, translating to roughly $37,000 in annual revenue. Use our [GREC revenue calculator](/calculator) to estimate your system's earnings. $87.00 2025 GREC price $100 → $65 ACP ceiling ~430 GRECs/yr Avg 4-ton system ~$37,000/yr Avg annual revenue ## Maryland GREC Program Key Facts - Program established: 2012 (HB 1186), expanded 2021 (HB 1007) - Eligibility: systems installed on or after January 1, 2023 earn dedicated GRECs; pre-2023 systems earn Tier 1 RECs - Residential: must meet ENERGY STAR standards; not grid-connected - Non-residential: commercial, multi-family, institutional — all eligible - Low-income carve-out: 20% of utility GREC obligation must come from LMI facilities - Tracking: PJM-GATS - Credit basis: 1 GREC per MWh of thermal energy saved ## Eligibility Requirements System located in Maryland Installed on or after January 1, 2023 (for GREC carve-out) or after January 1, 2013 (for Tier 1) Meets ENERGY STAR standards Does not feed electricity back to the grid (residential) Manual J calculation available (recommended) ## How Emergent Energy Handles Maryland GREC Registration [See the complete registration process](/how-it-works) explained step by step. 1.
