Gipe, “Ecuador Adopts Feed-in Tariff,” 6 May 2011, www.wind- works.org/FeedLaws/Ecuador/EcuadorAdoptsFeed-inTariffs.html. The FIT also applies for the Galápagos Islands, and applies to several technologies and differentiates biogas and hydro by size. 35 In that scheme, if applications exceed 150 MW total capacity, the incentives will be awarded to projects that offer the highest discount on the proposed tariff. Already, competitive bidding has reduced the original tariffs by 32% for solar PV and 38% for CSP. 53 See Electricity Regulatory Authority of Uganda, www.era.or.ug/FeedInTariffs.php. 36 Resources and Logistics, Identification Mission for the Mediterranean Solar Plan, Final report, January 2010, http:// ec.europa.eu/energy/international/international_cooperation/ doc/2010_01_solar_plan_report.pdf. 54 For example, following the introduction of a FIT (with tariffs out to 2035 declining over time), the Indian state of Gujarat has seen growing interest in solar PV electricity generation. 37 Table 2 from sources listed in Endnote 1 for this section. 38 Some question the inclusion of the United States (1978) in Table 55 Gold, op. cit. note 4. 56 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), “Renewable Power R10. The U.S. national feed-in law was the Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act (PURPA) of 1978, although some analysts do not consider PURPA to have been a true national feed-in law. Several states actively implemented PURPA but most discontinued imple- mentation in the 1990s. Some jurisdictions are not listed in Table R10 due to the limited scope of their policies – for example, the U.S. state of Washington, which has enacted limited FITs for solar PV but restricts the amount of capacity that can be installed and is capped at $5,000/year per project. Other policies are listed even though they are limited also: California’s FIT is limited to 750 MW; Oregon and Vermont’s FITs are limited to 25 MW and 50 MW, respectively, and are considered pilot programs. In addition, some utilities in the U.S. states of Michigan and Wisconsin offer limited FITs but there is no state-level policy. The Australian Northern Territory had a limited FIT for a small number of systems in Alice Springs. & Energy Efficiency Market: Renewable Portfolio Standards,” www. ferc.gov/market-oversight/othr-mkts/renew/othr-rnw-rps.pdf. For states with non-binding policy goals, see references for Table R11. 39 There remain significant differences of opinion among experts as to what constitutes a feed-in tariff. For Table 2, the Netherlands MEP policy is considered a premium and is classified as an energy production payment, rather than a feed-in policy. Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, and Iran may be the same, although some claim these countries have FITs. FITs shown for some other countries might better be classified as energy production payments as well. Indonesia’s 2002 FIT covers generators less than 10 MW (revised from 1 MW in 2006) but at low tariff levels and is thus not considered by some to be a true FIT. India’s national FIT from 1993 was substantially discontinued but new national FITs were enacted in 2008. 59 Until 31 December, 2013, utilities may use TRECs to satisfy no more than 25% of their requirement. The price of a TREC is capped at $50 but this will be removed in 2014 as will the limit on the number of TRECs that may be used for RPS compliance. DSIRE, “California: Incentives/Policy for Solar,” www.dsireusa.org. In addition to the RPS and FIT policies, California has a competi- tive bidding mechanism, the Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM) program, which requires the state’s three investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to purchase electricity from renewable energy systems up to 20 MW in size within their service territories. 40 P. Gipe, “Louisiana PUC Orders Limited Feed-in Tariff,” 2010, www.wind-works.org/FeedLaws/USA/LouisianaPUCOrders LimitedFeed-inTariff.html. The tariff is offered only for a limited five-year term, which is considerably shorter than most FIT terms. Each utility is authorized to acquire a portion of the 1 GW cap. Competitive auctions are then to be held twice a year for two years, for 250 MW each. Also see ACORE, “Renewable Energy in California,” February 2011, www.acore.org/files/pdfs/states/ California.pdf. 41 By building three renewable energy projects, one at least 5 MW and the others up to 300 kW each, a utility can avoid offering any standard offer contracts. 60 Deleted in proof. 61 Deleted in proof. 62 Deleted in proof. 63 ACORE, “Renewable Energy in Delaware,” February 2011, 50 “Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Expands Solar Feed In Tariff Program,” EnergyMatters.com, 14 September 2010. 57 “New York RPS Expanded to 30 Percent by 2015,” IREC State & Stakeholder Newsletter, 27 January 2010. The assumption is that an additional 1% will take place outside of the standard from voluntary green power purchasing programs. Compared to the original projections made in 2004 for a 25% standard, this should require only a modest increase in renewable energy generation because the revised projections incorporate a 15% reduction in energy use by 2015 under the state’s Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard (EEPS). 58 “California Legislature Passes 33% RPS Bill,” Platts.com, 29 March 2011. www.acore.org/files/pdfs/states/Delaware.pdf. For eligible renewable energy resources, the cost threshold is 3% of total retail 111 RENEWABLES 2011 GLOBAL STATUS REPORT
