Join InREA for Webinar on IPL's New Renewable Energy Incentives Including FiT

Last summer, InREA brought you a webinar on Feed-in Tariffs (FiT) including information about Indianapolis Power and Light's proposal for a FiT that was part of their Demand Side Management (DSM) plan pending before the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC). IPL's DSM plan was approved and now you can hear about the details and how to sign-up for these new renewable energy incentives.

InREA Webinar: John Haselden and Jake Allen explain new Indianapolis Power & Light (IPL) Renewable Energy Programs

Join the first webinar by the Indiana Renewable Energy Association (InREA) using GoToWebinar on Thursday, May 27th from 10:00 to 11:00 am. John Haselden and Jake Allen with Indianapolis Power and Light (IPL) will describe and explain renewable energy incentives recently approved by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).

These new renewable energy incentives include: 1) revised net metering tariff; 2) new Rate REP or Renewable Energy Production (aka Feed-in Tariff); and 3) incentives for small scale renewable energy projects.

The revised net metering tariff has been expanded to be available to all customers and the capacity limits have been increased from 10 kW to 50 kW.

IPL's Rate REP is:
  • Available to all customers not on Net Metering Rider 9.
  • Applicable to generating capacity of 50 kW (20 kW for solar PV) to 10 MW
  • All production will be metered and purchased by IPL (not just net of use)
  • IPL retains all environmental attributes (e.g. RECs) to be used for compliance with an RPS or sold to the market for the credit of all customers.
  • Allows for multi-year contracting of production and pricing (allows for project financing)
  • Standard pricing to be adjusted periodically using a 30-filing process and will take into account DSM incentives, tax credits and other influences so as to not create a windfall for developers.
A $2 per watt incentive available to IPL customers who install a small scale renewable energy project – capped at $4,000 per customer

This is a webinar you won't want to miss. We plan to record this webinar and make it available later so watch for more details.
