I, Michael S. Fletcher, certify that:

     1.  I  have  reviewed  this Form 10-K of Energy Corporation of America (the

     2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement
of  a  material  fact  or  omit  to  state a material fact necessary to make the
statements  made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were
made,  not  misleading  with  respect  to  the  period  covered  by this report;

information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the
financial  condition, results of operations and cash flows of the company as of,
and  for,  the  periods  presented  in  this  report;

     4.  The  company's  other  certifying  officer  and  I  are responsible for
establishing  and  maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

reporting  (as  defined  in  Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
company  and  have:

          (a)  Designed  such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to
     ensure  that  material  information  relating to the company, including its
     consolidated  subsidiaries,  is  made  known  to  us by others within those
     entities,  particularly  during  the  period  in which this report is being
     prepared;

          (b) Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
     such  internal  control  over  financial reporting to be designed under our
     supervision,  to  provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
     financial  reporting  and  the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for
     external  purposes  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
     principles;

          (c)  Evaluated  the effectiveness of the company's disclosure controls
     and  procedures  and  presented  in  this  report our conclusions about the
     effectiveness  of  the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
     the  period  covered  by  this  report  based  on  such  evaluation;  and

          (d)  Disclosed  in  this  report  any change in the company's internal
     control  over  financial  reporting that occurred during the company's most
     recent  fiscal  quarter  (the  company's  fourth  fiscal  quarter) that has
     materially  affected,  or  is  reasonably  likely to materially affect, the
     company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting;  and

     5.  The  company's  other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on
our  most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the
company's  auditors  and the audit committee of the company's board of directors
(or  persons  performing  the  equivalent  functions):

          (a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
     or  operation  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  which are
     reasonably  likely  to  adversely  affect  the company's ability to record,
     process,  summarize  and  report  financial  information;  and

          (b)  Any  fraud,  whether or not material, that involves management or
     other  employees  who  have  a  significant  role in the company's internal
     control  over  financial  reporting.
