    Could FTC expiring be boon to SRECS?

    Just a thought....If the 30% federal tax credit is allowed to expire this year as scheduled, could this result in higher SREC values? My thought process on this is that ending the ITC will put the brakes on the trajectory of home solar installations. With states continuing to raise their Renewable Portfolio Standards, and less SREC's on the market due to new production not keeping up with RPS, SREC values will then trend upward. Thoughts?

      Could be an uptick in the % of the ACP they are worth but the decline in the ACP at least in maryland could more than offset any gains.
