FAQ-273:
Can the EDCs provide W-9s?
Typically, winning bidders are provided contact information and banking information for the counterparty with which they’ve won (PSE&G, JCP&L, ACE and/or RECO) as part of the contract execution process at the conclusion of the auction. However, the EDCs may make their W-9 forms available upon request prior to the auction and contract execution process.

FAQ-272:
Are the terms of the ISDA 2018 U.S. Stay Protocol incorporated to the Master SREC Agreement for the October 2026 Auction?
On September 25, 2026, the Auction Manager posted to the Documents page of the website an updated version of the Master Solar REC Agreement (“Master SREC Agreement”) that includes a new, entirely optional Exhibit B to incorporate the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) 2018 U.S. Resolution Stay Protocol (“ISDA U.S. Stay Protocol”). Other than the addition of this new, optional Exhibit B, the Master SREC Agreement posted on September 25, 2026 is the same as the Master SREC Agreement posted on September 1, 2026.Execution of Exhibit B of the Master SREC Agreement is entirely optional. A Bidder that is a “Regulated Entity” under the ISDA U.S. Stay Protocol may elect for the Bidder and the EDC(s) to execute Exhibit B to incorporate necessary terms of the ISDA U.S. Stay Protocol. A Bidder electing to execute Exhibit B should complete the Exhibit B Signature Pages form available on the Documents page of the website and provide the completed form to the Auction Manager via email by the Qualification Deadline of 12 PM (noon) EPT on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. For a bidder electing to execute Exhibit B, if a bidder’s signatory to Exhibit B remains valid, the bidder is not required to submit the signature pages of Exhibit B of the Master SREC Agreement for each Auction in which the bidder participates.
For a bidder electing to execute Exhibit B, the signature pages of Exhibit B of the Master SREC Agreement submitted by a bidder are retained by the Auction Manager until the bidder becomes a winning bidder in the Auction and the bidder is matched with a particular EDC. As part of the post-auction process, the Auction Manager will send to each EDC the partially executed Master SREC Agreement (including the partially executed Exhibit B, if applicable) for that EDC and for each of its winning bidders for execution, unless that EDC has already executed a Master SREC Agreement (and Exhibit B, if applicable) with a particular bidder pursuant to a previous Auction. Each EDC will then execute the Master SREC Agreement (and Exhibit B, if applicable) for each of its winning bidders that have not already executed a Master SREC agreement pursuant to a previous Auction and send the fully executed Master SREC Agreement to each of said winning bidders.
