Note:  In 2010, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which has authority over mortgage underwriters Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, directed these enterprises against purchasing mortgages of homes with a PACE lien due to its senior status above a mortgage. Most residential PACE activity subsided following this directive; however, some residential PACE programs are now operating with loan loss reserve funds, appropriate disclosures, or other protections meant to address FHFA's concerns. Commercial PACE programs were not directly affected by FHFA’s actions, as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not underwrite commercial mortgages.

Portland General Electric’s Green Future Renewable Development Fund (RDF) is a competitive grant program, supported by voluntary contributions from Green Future participants, that offers financial backing for impactful, non-residential renewable energy projects. Some examples are solar, wind, small hydropower, energy storage, R&D, and educational efforts. With more than $20 million awarded since 1999 and 17.1 MW of clean energy created, RDF emphasizes local benefits by prioritizing projects hosted by nonprofits within PGE’s service area, especially those serving environmental justice communities and leveraging multiple funding streams. In 2025, up to $1.5 million is

HB 4037 of 2016 created the Solar Incentive Program for utility-scale solar development. The bill directs Oregon's Business Development Department (the Department) to establish and administer a program to provide a production incentive to solar developers, and establishes the Solar Incentivization Fund to provide the incentives.

Solar photovoltaic systems located in Oregon with a capacity between 2 and 10 MW are eligible for a $0.005 per kilowatt hour (kWh) incentive. The systems must become operational after January 1, 2016 but within a year of enrollment in the program. The incentives are paid monthly and will continue for a period of

Pacific Power's Blue Sky program is a voluntary program for customers to support renewable energy. A portion of the voluntary payments through the program is used to fund new community-based renewable energy projects within Pacific Power's service territory.

Eligible renewable energy resources include wind, solar PV, geothermal, low-impact hydropower, pipeline or irrigation canal hydropower, wave or tidal energy, and low-emissions biomass. Projects must be grid connected, less than 10 MW, locally owned, and non-residential.

2025 Funding Application Timeline: Jan 15 - April 25

The Blue Sky Community Project Applications program, offered by Pacific Power, delivers competitive grants funded by Blue Sky® participants to support new, grid-connected renewable energy installations—such as solar PV, wind, geothermal, low-impact hydro (LIHI-certified), pipeline/irrigation hydropower, wave/tidal energy, and methane-based low-emissions biomass—at locally-owned, non-residential sites served by Pacific Power in California, Oregon, and Washington. Projects must be under 10 MW in capacity, completed within one year of award (with potential extensions tied to new construction), and equipped with an electronic inverter-monitoring system that provides at least five years of production data

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.
