Energy Tax Incentives

The Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP), sponsored by a coalition of public interest nonprofit groups, government agencies, and other organizations in the energy efficiency field, is designed to give consumers and businesses information they need to make use of the federal income tax incentives for energy efficient products and technologies passed by Congress as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

EERE Building Technology Program-Tax Credits

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides a variety of tax incentives for homeowners, businesses, and manufacturers for purchase of energy efficient equipment and buildings, which will be available after January 1, 2006 and before December 31, 2007.

DOE'S Energy Efficiency And Renewable Energy (eere)

Our dependence on foreign energy is like a foreign tax on the American people. It's a tax our citizens pay every day in higher gasoline prices and higher costs to heat and cool their homes. It's a tax on jobs and it's a tax that is increasing every year.

With America now importing 60% of the oil we use and a national bill for this habit that came to $250 billion last year, there is simply no time to waste. With worldwide demand growing rapidly, and with concern about the environmental impact of greenhouse gases rising, the deployment of clean, reliable sources of energy is clearly in our national interest.

Database Of State Incentives For Renewable Energy

The Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy (DSIRE) is a comprehensive source of information on state, local, utility, and selected federal incentives that promote renewable energy. DSIRE now includes incentives for energy efficiency.

Million Solar Roofs

Changes are coming to the Million Solar Roofs Initiative (MSR) and the Solar Program at the Department of Energy generally. DOE wants the partnerships and others to be aware of these changes, the potential opportunities and the timing for implementing this new program.

For nearly 10 years, MSR has been working to solarize communities with solar electric, domestic water and pool heating systems.

Learn More About Net Metering

Net metering enables customers to use their own generation to offset their consumption over a billing period by allowing their electric meters to turn backwards when they generate electricity in excess of the their demand. This offset means that customers receive retail prices for the excess electricity they generate. Without net metering, a second meter is usually installed to measure the electricity that flows back to the provider, with the provider purchasing the power at a rate much lower than the retail rate.
