????????
In what could be a trend, Gainesville, Florida’s municipal utility Gainesville Regional Utilities (GRU) last month adopted the U.S.'s first true feed-in tariff,PUMA Sports Shoes, a la Germany’s fixed-rate, long-term payment for solar energy.
As of March 1, GRU customers with new PV systems can get $0.32 per kwh for 20 years. On a recent conference call organized by the Solar Electric Power Association (SEPA),Louis Vuitton Discount, Wilson Rickerson, principal consultant at Rickerson Energy Strategies LLC noted that "FIT ideas here in the US have moved from a head-scratching idea to…still a head-scratching idea, but more acceptance." Probably to avoid looking like Euro-copycats, U.S. legislators often call FITs "renewable energy payments,Designer Handbags," and Rickerson said 9 states now have FIT legislation under consideration, and 9 more are talking about them as a way to meet RPS goals.
On the federal level, Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) has proposed a federal FIT, though it has not been voted on, and state and local authorities may well beat the feds to deciding that FITs provide the best investor security in this period of uncertainty regarding tax equity financing. |
