Funding Resources

As a service to our Partners, EPA's CHP Partnership provides regularly updated lists of state and federal incentives applicable to CHP and biomass/biogas projects, including financial incentives and favorable regulatory treatment. The CHP Partnership updates this information twice a month.

CHP and biomass/biogas funding opportunities are offered by various entities throughout the country, many at the state and federal level. These opportunities take a variety of forms, including:

Financial incentives, such as grants, tax incentives, low-interest loans, favorable partial load rates (e.g., standby rates), and tradable allowances.
CHP or biomass project development can be expedited with regulatory treatment that removes unintended barriers such as standard interconnection requirements, net metering, and output-based regulations.

The Funding Database lists these and other incentives that might be applicable to your CHP project and organizes funding opportunities in two general categories: type of project and type of incentive.

Type of Project:

State and federal incentives applicable to CHP systems, such as direct financial incentives or favorable regulatory treatment.
State and federal incentives applicable to biomass/biogas-fueled CHP and distributed generation projects, including financial incentives and favorable regulatory treatment.

Type of Incentive:

The financial incentives page includes grants, tax incentives, low-interest loans, favorable utility rates, tradable allowances, and renewable portfolio standards—all of which could help CHP project developers or end users locate additional funding for their CHP or biomass project.
The regulatory treatment page lists regulations that remove unintended barriers to CHP or biomass project development and can include: standardized interconnection rules, net metering rules, or output-based regulations.
