HB 2281: Renewable energy incentives

Recertifying renewable energy systems eligible for a renewable energy system production incentive.

Summary

  • Specifies that no Renewable Energy Cost Recovery Incentive Payment Program customer who recertifies their renewable energy system with the Washington State University Extension Energy Program (WSU Energy Program) may continue to receive incentive payments if the cumulative dollar amount of incentive payments made to the customer exceeds 100 percent of the attested total price of the renewable energy system.
  • Requires the WSU Energy Program to collect applicable system price data from each person or community solar project administrator applying for recertification under the Renewable Energy Production Incentive Program.
  • Establishes that only applicants whose systems were installed and operational after July 1, 2010, must provide system operation data such as global positioning system coordinates, tilt, estimated shading, and azimuth when applying to the WSU Energy Program for recertification.
  • Authorizes the WSU Energy Program to waive the requirement to provide applicable system data when extraordinary circumstances exist that result in an unreasonable burden to the applicant.
