North American States are all moving towards offering strong incentive programs, in the form of tax credits and rebates, to encourage Americans to look at alternative power as a source to both reduce their dependence on tradition energy resources, and reduce their carbon foot print.
New York State has one of the best incentive programs offering up to $24,000 US per installed wind turbine. California is close behind with an excellent program of their own. All the mid-western states are offering up to 25% rebates on select wind turbines.
Recently the State of Oregon – Energy Trust of Oregon, Inc. announced that they will be offering strong cash incentives for the implementation of small wind turbines. The program is slated to start later this year in November. The wind turbines must be connected to the grid and net-metered by Portland General Electric or Pacific Power.
Funding is available to participants who live on a wind resource site that has an average annual wind speed of at least 10 mph. To evaluate your site’s wind resource, no matter where you live in North America, check out this Wind Resource Map.
For a detailed look into other State Incentive programs, visit the Database of State Incentive for Renewables and Efficiency. DSIRE is a detailed information resource on state, local, utility, and federal incentives for the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency.
