DSIRE Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency

2008-12-14T13:24:00.000-08:00

The DSIRE website provides a fast and convenient method for accessing information about renewable energy and energy efficiency incentives and regulatory policies administered by federal and state agencies, utilities, and local organizations. You can view incentive information in a variety of ways:

Incentives by State
The homepage features a U.S. map for easy access to policies and incentives available in each state. Clicking on a state brings up a list of available programs organized into the following categories:
1. Financial Incentives
2. Rules, Regulations, & Policies
Federal Incentives
DSIRE contains information on Federal financial incentives for end-users of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. It does not include research & development or outreach programs. Click on the Federal Incentives icon on the homepage to access program summaries. Individual program summaries contain the same level of information described above Incentives by State.
National Trends in Renewable Energy Incentives
Summary Maps provide a geographical perspective of the availability of each renewable energy incentive type across the United States. Summary Tables provide an overview of renewable energy and energy efficiency incentives offered in each state.

Search DSIRE by the following methods
- State
- Incentive type
- Renewable energy or energy efficiency technology
- Implementing sector (federal, state, local, utility)
- Eligible sector (e.g., commercial, industrial, residential, etc.)

Additional Resources
DSIRE's homepage also includes links to the following features:
- A Glossary describing each incentive type related to federal, state, utility, and local level incentives, programs and policies for renewable energy
- Links to other renewable energy resources on the Internet
- A Library of renewable energy policy reports, papers, and presentations involving the DSIRE project
