rebate updates

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

The Xcel Energy rebate is now at $1.00 per watt, and the Renewable Energy Credit (REC) is 9 cents per kWh. A 5 kW system will receive a $5000 upfront rebate, and about $675 per year for 10 years ($56.25 per month) if the system output is 7500 kWh per year. (based on optimum installation orientation and performance)

The Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) closed down the Recharge Colorado rebate program as part of the state office. Now the Recharge Colorado program is a non-profit organization that continues to assist renewable customers through rebates and technical assistance. see www.rechargecolorado.org

Clean Energy Loans in Boulder County

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Boulder County voters approved issue IA by a healthy margin, and now county officials are beginning to plan the program roll-out. A public open house was held on Tuesday (Dec 2) to solicit public input on how to implement the loan program. The new loan program is called “ClimateSmart”, and is headed by Ann Livingston. I am looking forward to details on the program.
