Conference

OSTI ID:20050733
The past three decades saw the rapid development of renewable energy technologies and the concurrent evolution of state and federal financial and regulatory incentives, programs and policies to augment that development. Within the past two years, utility companies have created new incentives and programs that promote the use of renewable energy. Many of these incentives are in response to electric utility restructuring, while others are part of a broader corporate perspective that seeks to diversify into renewable energy generation, manage demand-side growth, or reap environmental benefits. This paper will present the current status of available utility incentives and programs throughout the united States as collected and databased by the Interstate Renewable Energy Council's (IREC) Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) project. Discussion will focus on putting the status of utility incentives programs into the context of the current restructuring movement, as well as how the DSIRE project can assist local, state, and national policy makers; industry, businesses and consumers; environmental and consumer advocates; and energy policy researchers.
