The USA government offers a 30% tax credit for renewable energy installations (this is a credit, not a deduction, directly reducing payable taxes). Oregon's EnergyTrust program currently has a $25,200 rebate for a Scirocco. Ontario offers net metering and RST rebate programs for renewable energy. Ontario's Standard Offer Program sets a fixed price for renewable energy producers. This pays 11 cents per kWh for wind, biomass, and small hydro, and 42 cents per kWh for solar. For northern Ontario (which covers 90% of the province) there is a 50% rebate for small business. Hurry, this ends as soon as funds run out! Saskatchewan offers net metering, and a 35% rebate for new RE installations (solar, wind, hydro, biomass etc.). For more information on incentives and net metering please see the 'links' section. |
