1 RHODE ISLAND RENEWABLE ENERGY & ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMS 2018 ebook 1
2 Mission Statement The Commerce Corporation Renewable Energy Fund () is dedicated to increasing the role of renewable energy throughout the state. The hopes to develop an integrated organizational structure for RI and its citizens to reap the full benefits of the cost-effective renewable energy development from diverse sources. Disclaimer: The information contained within this ebook is strictly for educational purposes. This ebook contains information that is intended to help the readers be better informed about the current Rhode Island programs available within renewable energy and energy efficiency. It is presented as general surface level information on programs available. Please be advised that this may not contain all programs and program requirements. s are continuously subject to change. Please consult directly with the program providers for further details of the programs availabilities and requirements. 2

Each sector will have its own icon (as presented on the Table of Contents page). s shown under each sector icon have offerings for the indicated sector. There are logos presented on the programs to illustrate the providers of the program. Information, including the providers, incentives, eligibilities, deadlines, etc. is shown next to each program. Click on the logo near any program to be directed to the program s website. 4
5 Key Terms *Click on word to link to source Incentive An action or something that incites or tends to incite to action or greater effort, as a reward offered for increased productivity sharing Act of giving money, property or other material goods to another party in exchange for future repayment of the principal amount along with interest and/or other finance charges Loan A campaign in which the more people who sign up for a program, the lower the cost is for everybody (FIT) is a policy mechanism designed to encourage the adoption of renewable energy sources. It typically includes three key provisions: 1) guaranteed grid access, 2) long-term contracts for the electricity produced, and 3) purchase prices that are methodologically based on the cost of renewable energy generation. Under a feed-in tariff, an obligation is imposed on regional or national electricity utilities to buy renewable electricity from all eligible participants. Feed-In Tariff Net Metering Tiered Campaign Tax Credit An amount of money a taxpayer is able to subtract from taxes owed to the government. Rebate A billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. For example, if a residential customer has a PV system on the home s rooftop, it may generate more electricity than the home uses during daylight hours. If the home is net-metered, the electricity meter will run backwards to provide a credit against what electricity is consumed at night or other periods where the home s electricity use exceeds the system s output. Grant Money that is returned to you after you pay for goods or services, done in order to make the sale more attractive. Performance- Based Incentive Virtual net metering (VNM) is a bill crediting system for community solar. It refers to when solar is not used onsite but is instead externally installed and shared among subscribers. In this case, you receive credits on your electric bill for excess energy produced by your share of a solar garden. A government grant is a financial award given by the federal, state or local government to an eligible grantee. Government grants are not expected to be repaid and do not include technical assistance or other financial assistance, such as a loan or loan guarantee, an interest rate subsidy, direct appropriation, or revenue sharing (PBI) are incentives that are paid based on the actual energy production of the solar system. Typically these are paid based on an energy ($/kwh) basis over a period of time. This is different from the approach where a one-time rebate is provided. Feed-in tariffs (FIT) are a common type of PBI. Virtual Net Metering 5

The mission of OER is to lead Rhode Island to a secure, cost-effective, and sustainable energy future. OER works closely with private and public stakeholders to increase the reliability and security of our energy supply, reduce energy costs and mitigate price volatility, and improve environmental quality. Rhode Islanders spend over $3 billion per year on energy to light their homes, keep the heat on, and fuel their vehicles. Fossil fuels such as natural gas, fuel oil, and gasoline supply the vast majority of these energy needs. By developing and implementing smart energy policies such as those that promote energy efficiency and renewable energy OER helps reduce Rhode Island s dependence on these out-ofstate fuels, advancing our State as a national leader in the new clean energy economy.
