Available Funding for the APS Renewable Incentive Program
The APS Renewable Energy Incentive Program was created in response to the Renewable Energy Standard (RES) as approved by the Arizona Corporation Commission. Incentives from this program are designed to help our customers take advantage of the renewable energy resources available in our state. Doing so will help decrease air pollution, reduce energy costs for participating customers and help build a more sustainable future for all Arizonans.
The goal of the RES is for 15 percent of our retail energy sales to come from renewable energy resources by the year 2025. For 2009, 2 percent of the energy we provide must be derived from renewable energy resources. Of that percentage, 15 percent must come from Distributed Energy - resources that APS does not own and which are installed on the "customer's side" of the electric meter such as rooftop solar panels.
To help reach these goals for distributed energy, the ACC has authorized APS to offer up to $51,700,000 of incentives for APS customer projects in 2009. The energy production target for 2009 is 88,128,774 kWhs of distributed energy which is divided equally between residential (44,064,387 kWhs) and non-residential customers (44,064,387 kWhs).

*On August 26, 2009, the Arizona Corporation Commission approved APS's request to raise the cap from $77 million to $220 million dollars. Despite this increase, incentive funds requested still exceed the funds available. Incentives funds will be allocated through a competitive ranking process. The last accepted project at the conclusion September - October nomination period had a PBI Ranking Index Value of 1489.

Based on these results, we are currently accepting applications for both residential and non-residential incentives. For detailed program results by year, technology, or customer class, please view the REIP Quarterly Results.
