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 2010, 2.5 percent of the energy we provide must be derived from renewable energy resources. Of that percentage, 20 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 $55.3 million for residential incentives and $147.4 million for non-residential incentives for APS customer projects in 2010. The energy production target through the end of 2010 is 141,305,290 kWhs of distributed energy which is divided equally between residential and non-residential customers.
