This program helps improve commercial buildings by financing energy efficiency measures and renewable energy systems. Authorized by Section 29.55.100 of the Alaska Statutes, which allows local governments to create and manage C-PACE programs, financing may be granted for products and devices that provide thermal energy,
The Emerging Energy Technology Fund (EETF) provides grants for energy demonstration projects, testing of emerging energy technologies, and deployment of existing technologies that have previously not yet been demonstrated in Alaska. Eligible technologies include those that reduce negative environmental effects, such as renewable energy or
Arizona does not tax energy efficiency components, renewable energy equipment, and combined heat and power systems as property. Arizona Revised Statute 42-11054, which details this exemption, specifies that renewable energy equipment includes equipment used to produce energy primarily for on-site consumption from renewable resources, including
Section 41-1514.02 of the Arizona Revised Statutes sets up an environmental technology assistance program under the state Department of Commerce to expand businesses’ ability to produce solar and other renewable energy products.
For small businesses (those that employ 100 or fewer), the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality offers environmental assistance loans for several pollution prevention goals, such as “reduction of waste, effluents, and emissions at the source.” Under this definition, investments in certain technologies, such as biomass
This is a sales and use tax exemption for various processes (e.g., advanced manufacturing, advanced transportation). Of particular interest is “alternative sources”, which broadly include technologies used for renewable electrical generation facilities, distributed generation, energy storage technologies, and other technologies that reduce the need for
This law extends policies and programs currently implemented by California’s Public Utilities Commission to facilitate the development of biomethane through December 31, 2026. It increases the maximum incentive for biomethane projects from $1.5 million to $3 million, and to $5 million for dairy cluster biomethane
This $1 billion fund is dedicated to jumpstarting critical climate solutions and bridging financing gaps to help advanced technologies more quickly reach scale. It is open to public and private sector applicants and seeks to use a range of instruments to help finance innovative climate
The Electric Program Investment Charge (EPIC) was established in 2011 and augmented in 2022 with an additional $1 billion in funding to last through 2030. The program expedites the development and demonstration of technologies that increase resilience and decarbonize California’s electric grid and energy use.
This program, added to California’s 2022-2023 budget, offers a total of $525 million to fund technological advancements that will help meet GHG reduction goals and increase climate resilience. “Clean energy generation and storage” is referenced in a non-exhaustive list of example technologies, and there is
