Rebates

Ameren Missouri offers rebates to its residential electric customers for the installation of new energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment. Rebates are available for single-family residences, multifamily residences with four units or fewer, and row houses (single family residences that share vertical walls only with other single-family residences). This program provides rebates for installations made on or after March 7, 2016; all rebate applications under this program must be made before February 15, 2019. Installations must be performed by a participating contractor. Incentive amounts vary by the efficiency rating of the new equipment and the type of old equipment which the

On January 2016, the New York Public Service Commission (PUC) approved $5 billion Clean Energy Fund (CEF) as a successor to the New York’s Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS) and Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) fund, which both expired at the end of 2015. The Clean Energy Fund emerged from the regulatory proceedings of the Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) initiative*. The ratepayer funded clean energy programs in New York are administered by the New York State Energy Research and Development’s (NYSERDA). NYSERDA will administer the CEF to fund all the state sponsored clean energy activities in the state. The

The Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB) offers net metering for customers with renewable energy generation systems with an installed capacity of 25 kW or less. Eligible systems use solar power, wind power, fuel cells, hydroelectric power, landfill gas, digester gas, waste, dedicated energy crops, or certain biomass to generate electricity. Systems should be sized to primarily offset the customer's energy usage at the site. 

Excess generation is compensated monthly at a rate of $0.0710/kWh and does not roll over to subsequent months.

*EWEB has announced that it will transition to a new method of calculating solar rates based on avoided cost, beginning 2026.

Garland Power & Light (GP&L) offers a solar/photovoltaic installation program that allows customers to become distributed energy producers by generating their own electricity. To participate, customers must follow GP&L's Solar Generation Installation Requirements to ensure system and worker safety. Once all documentation and inspections are complete, a bi-directional meter is installed to measure the flow of electricity to and from the grid. Excess power sent to the GP&L system earns customers $0.0819 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The meter tracks cumulative energy flow in both directions and is used for net metering, but it does not record total solar production.

NOTE: This program has changed from offering rebates to offering incentives as tax incentives. 

City of Richmond natural gas customers are eligible for tax credit for purchase of for efficiency natural gas technologies as part of the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) Conservation Program. Tax Credits to a maximum amount as specified above are available for high efficiency furnaces, boilers, electric heat pump water heater, and biomass stoves.  

Biomass stoves must use renewable plant derived fuel, including agricultural crops, trees, wood, wood waste, residues, grasses, and fibers.  

Please contact the Energy Services Division of City of Richmond for more information. 

Massachusetts offers fixed low-interest loans to residents purchasing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. One purpose of this program is to provide more opportunity for residents to own solar PV systems, rather than enter into third-party ownership arrangements. This program is administered by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center, with oversight from the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources. The program is funded by alternative compliance payments paid to comply with the state's renewable portfolio standard.

Eligibility Requirements

Loans are available to Massachusetts residents purchasing a solar PV system or a share in a behind-the-meter community shared solar system. Third-party owned projects are

The Blue Ridge Electric Membership Corporation offers net metering to its residential customers with solar photovoltaic, wind, or micro-hydro generators up to 25 kilowatts. There is no aggregate capacity limit.

Net excess generation is credited at retail rate. However, net metering customers are not served on the general residential rate tariff; net metering customers have a lower retail energy rate and higher grid service charge than general residential customers. Net metering customers also have a higher minimum bill than general residential customers. Excess credit rolls over month-to-month. Any net excess generation remaining on May 31 of each year will be

The Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AFHC) provides rebates to Alaskans who purchase or build new, energy-efficient homes. AFHC uses the Home Energy Rating System index to determine the size of the rebate. Homes that score between 92.0 and 94.0 points are given a 5 Star Plus rating and are eligible for a $7,000 rebate. Homes that score 95 points and above points are rated as a 6 Star and are eligible for a $10,000 rebate.

To be eligible, applicants must be the original homeowner, and the home must be their primary residence and less than one year old. The home

A residential taxpayer is entitled to an Indiana income tax deduction on the materials and labor used to install insulation in a taxpayer’s principal place of residence in Indiana.

In December 2015, the Mississippi Public Service Commission (PSC) established net metering in the State accompanied by interconnection standards for distributed generator facilities. 

Eligibility

The standards apply to all the investor-owned utilities in Mississippi under the jurisdiction of the PSC. The cooperatives are required to file a net metering program and interconnection standard that is consistent with the rules set forward by the PSC. Cooperatives that participate in the TVA-sponsored net metering program are exempt from the rule. Interconnection request applications will be made available on the electric utility’s website. 

All the distributed generation facilities must be capable of being isolated
