Now Open: TVPPA & Southeast Power Administration Renewable Energy Certificate Program

The Southeastern Power Administration (SEPA) Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) Program participation window is now open. Beginning August 11, and running until the close of business on Friday, August 22, 2025, each LPC is asked to complete this form indicating its desire to claim its 2024 SEPA REC allocation.

To determine each LPC’s REC allocation for calendar year 2024, TVPPA needs the following information:

[LPC NAME] desires / does not desire to claim its 2024 SEPA REC allocation from SEPA and TVPPA. Our MWh Purchase Amount for Calendar Year 2024 is _______. (Click this link to email Brad Rains with your LPC name, your participation choice, and your purchase amount.) 

To claim the RECs, TVPPA needs the total Megawatt Hours purchased from TVA between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024. This will include all power purchased for standard service and large industrial BC&D customers.

Using this information, TVPPA will calculate the total RECs available to the LPC out of the total of 1,710,806 RECs available to the Valley. Each LPC’s allocation will be calculated as the percent of each LPC’s power purchased out of TVA’s total LPC power sales during this period.

TVPPA will collect the responses over this two-week participation solicitation period. Upon the close of this solicitation period, 100% of calendar year 2024 RECs will be allocated to those LPCs that expressed their desire to participate in this year’s allocation process. This process will begin again next March for the calendar year 2025 REC allocation process, and more RECs will be available then should an LPC decide to pass at this time.

For any questions, please reach Brad Rains, VP, Engineering & Strategic Services, by email at brains@tvppa.com or call him at 423-490-7926. Responses must be received by the close of business on Friday, August 22, 2025.
