In an effort to cultivate vibrant renewable energy markets in the United States, best practices in program development, rate design, financing, permitting, workforce development, and industry engagement have emerged. In the United States, AHJs with municipally owned utilities have more policy options because municipalities can directly affect utility operations and practices. Conversely, AHJs have less control over investor-owned utilities, which are regulated by state public utilities commissions. Regardless, supportive and transparent policies and programs at all levels of government are an important aspect of the advancement of renewable energy. The following highlights a few of the financial, regulatory, and industry best practices that hold the most promise for transforming the renewable energy market in LAC. Renewable Portfolio Standard Concept: Political will and utility participation are two of the most important factors in the development of renewable energy in the United States. Without these, a national clean energy standard, or a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), may never be adopted. An RPS is a regulation passed and enforced at the state level that requires a certain percentage of energy production to be from renewable energy sources by a specific date.d In practice: In the United States, 39 states and the District of Columbia have enacted an RPS or comparable standard. California’s goal is to have 33 percent of its energy needs supplied by renewable sources by 2020, while New York’s goal is 29 percent by 2015. In November 2004, Colorado became the first state to create an RPS by ballot initiative when voters approved Amendment 37. Since 2004, Colorado’s RPS has been increased twice by ballot initiative, signifying how important renewable energy is to voters. A direct result of a state adopting an RPS is its ability to establish tradable renewable energy credits (RECs), an important market- driven mechanism for driving down the overall cost of a project. In New Jersey, solar renewable energy certificates (SRECs) have been largely responsible for the boom of the state’s solar market. SRECs allow developers to build solar farms and large-scale solar projects while receiving highly valued certificates for the electricity produced from them. Ultimately, this incentive lowers the cost of overall project development because it allows some of the initial project capital investment to be recovered through power production. SREC markets can be complicated to analyze and evaluate; however, solar businesses have arisen to meet these challenges through brokering, aggregation, and web-based auction systems. These d Eligible technologies might include solar water heat, solar thermal electric, solar thermal process heat, photovoltaics, landfill gas, wind, biomass, hydroelectric, geothermal electric, geothermal heat pumps, municipal solid waste, solar light pipes, biomass thermal, anaerobic digestion, small hydroelectric, tidal energy, wave energy, and fuel cells using renewable fuels.
