Only commercially available and factory new equipment is eligible for incentives. Rebuilt or refurbished equipment is not eligible to receive incentives under this program. The incentive payment for 2010 is capped at 3 MW.

The Incentive Levels for 2011 are as follows:

Incentive Levels	Eligible Technologies	Incentive Offered ($/Watt)	Maximum Incentive Size
Renewable, Waste Heat Capture and Emerging Technologies	Wind Turbines	$1.25/W	3 MW
	Waste Heat to Power	$1.25/W	3 MW
	Advanced Energy Storage	$2.00/W	3MW
	Renewable microturbines (onsite or directed biogas)	$2.50/W	3 MW
	Renewable internal combustion engines (onsite or directed biogas)	$2.50/W	3 MW
	Renewable gas turbines (onsite or directed biogas)	$2.50/W	3 MW
	Renewable fuel cells (onsite or directed biogas)	$4.25/W	3 MW
	Non-renewable fuel cells	$2.25/W	3 MW
Non-Renewable	Non-renewable microturbines	$.50/W	3 MW
	Non-renewable internal combustion engines	$.50/W	3 MW
	Non-renewable gas turbines	$.50/W	3 MW

For projects that are greater than 1 MW up to 3 MW, the incentives identified above declines according to the schedule below:

Capacity	Incentive Rate (Pct. of Base)
0 – 1 MW	100%
>1 MW – 2 MW	50%
>2 MW – 3 MW	25%
