1 State Solar Policy: National and Southeast Policy Trends Amy Heinemann N.C. Solar Center / DSIRE N.C. State niversity NCSL Southeast Solar Energy Institute October 9, 2009

2 DSIRE Project Overview Created in 1995 Funded by DOE / NREL Managed by NCS; works closely with IREC Scope: government & utility policies/programs that promote RE/EE deployment > 2,100 total summaries DSIRE Solar

3 DSIRE Solar Interactive Policy Map: Provides quick access to state-specific solar information Solar Policy Guide: Offers descriptions of various state and local policy types for promoting solar; status and trends of individual policies; specific policy examples; and links to additional resources Summary Maps: Provide geographical overview of incentives across the country Solar Policy Comparison Tables: Highlight individual elements of state rebate and tax credit programs Search Function: Allows users to create a custom list of programs by solar technology, incentive type, eligible sector, etc.

Some state limits vary by customer type (e.g., residential/non-residential). No limit means that there is no stated maximum size for individual systems. Other limits may apply. Generally, state interconnection standards apply only to investor-owned utilities.

17 Solar Access Laws / June 2009 DC 18 states limit or prohibit restrictions that neighborhood covenants and/or local ordinances may impose on the use of solarenergy systems 33 states allow for the rights to existing solar access on the part of one property owner to be secured from another property owner whose property could be developed in such a way as to restrict the solar resource 14 states have provisions for both Solar Rights Provision Solar Easements Provision Solar Easements & Solar Rights Provisions

21 Emerging Trends Feed-in Tariffs States are moving away from traditional rebates to productionbased incentives Feed-in Tariffs (FITS) are one form of this. Producers paid at fixed rate based on generation cost and have long-term contract (10-20 yrs). Rate differentiated by size, technology, and application Buy-all, sell-all arrangement Around 20 states have considered in past 2 years. 3 states passed FITs, 2 through legislation, 1 with PC proceedings Handful of utilities created FITs in Florida, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Possible new utility FITs in Indiana and Texas.

22 Emerging Trends PACE Financing PACE financing = property assessed clean energy financing Also called property tax financing authorization, municipal energy financing districts This policy allows property owners to borrow money to pay for renewable energy and/or energy-efficiency improvements. The amount borrowed by a property owner is usually repaid through an increased property tax assessment over a period of years. In general, local governments that choose to offer property tax financing must be authorized to do so by state law. Prior to 2009, only 2 states had this authorization Currently, 16 states have enacted legislation to permit local government action, several other states already appear to have authority Does not affect state budget

23 Conclusions Trends/Issues Dominance of RPS policies Super-sized net metering Surging interest in FITs Rapid adoption of PACE financing New financial & policy models Calibrating state/federal policy Distributed v. centralized PV Increasing policy complexity Need for Improvement tility rate structures REC markets Incentives for non-taxpayers National market coordination Legal clarification: 3 rd party sales, PACE financing Bureaucracy
