| CT Onsite Renewable Distributed Generation Program | |
|---|---|
| Type of Incentive | Grant |
| Eligible States | CT |
| Eligible Technology | Backpressure Turbine, Boiler, Combustion Turbine, Condensing Turbine, Extracting Turbine, Fuel Cell, Microturbine, Other, Reciprocating Engine, Heat Recovery Generator, Stirling Engine |
| Eligible Fuel | Biogas, Biomass, Hydrogen, LFG, Other |
| Eligible Project Size | greater than 0.001 |
| Number of Awards | |
| Size of Award | The level of support for individual awards will vary based on the specific economics of the installation and the technology used, up to a maximum funding cap that varies from $3.20 to $5.00 per Watt. A 1.5 ¢/kWh premium will be available for fuel cells, small biomass, and landfill gas projects installed in Southwestern Connecticut. No single project will receive more than $4 million in incentives. No single project owner (individual or corporate entity, including parent companies) will receive more than $4 million in incentives in any three-year period. Fuel cell projects using generating units with a unit capacity of 1,000 kW or less will be eligible for an incentive up to $4,700/kW. Fuel cell projects based on generating units with a unit capacity above 1,000 kW will be limited to a maximum incentive of $3,200/kW. The program also offers grants of up to $50,000 per installation to support site-specific feasibility studies, permitting, meteorological surveys, and other technical activities needed at the onset of a project to determine whether or not a proposed project is viable. The intended project must qualify under the On-Site Renewable Distributed Generation Program to be eligible for a feasibility study grant. |

| Additional Information | The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund operates the Onsite Renewable Distributed Generation (DG) Program. Historically, eligible systems have included: solar, wind, fuel cell, landfill gas, low-emission biomass conversion technologies, and some hydropower. However, as of January 2009, CCEF is no longer accepting any new applications for photovoltaic systems. Other energy resources and emerging technologies that do not involve the combustion of coal, petroleum or petroleum products, municipal solid waste, or nuclear fission may be able to receive funding on a case-by-case basis. Eligible generators must have a generating capacity of at least 10 kW. Projects are expected to be installed and operating within 12 months of an executed contract with CCEF. The project owner is required to operate the project for the "financeable life" of the equipment, which is assumed to be 15 years. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. There is no specified program end date. The current funding of $32.75 million is expected to last through June 2008. |
