Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)
• RPS Program goal is to increase the proportion of renewable electricity used by New York consumers from the 2004 baseline of 19.3% to at least 25% by 2013.
RPS Main Tier
• The Main Tier consists primarily of mediumto large-scale electric generation facilities that will compete on the basis of price to sell NYSERDA the RPS Attributes. • Primarily involves facilities generating more than one 1,000 kW or 1 Megawatt • Projects selected by periodic bidding
RPS Customer-Sited Tier (CST)
Smaller-sized generation facilities that are used primarily at the customer’s site. Customer-sited resources must have been installed on or after January 1, 2003. Eligible resources include fuel cells, photovoltaics, small wind systems and anaerobic digester biogas (ADG) systems.
Customer-Sited Tier Incentives
• Incentives offered to qualifying facilities through a subscription application program • Capacity incentives will be $X/ kW • Production incentives will be $0.Y / kWh • Production incentives annually for 3 years
CST ADG Incentive Limits
• Total of capacity and production incentives limited to no more than $1,000,000 • Capacity incentives are limited to applicants who have not received NYSERDA funds from prior contract award for installation of engine generator system. • $1,000,000 limit for production incentive is reduced by the amount of previous award.
CST ADG Incentive Limits
• Incentives calculations limited to approximately the greater of: (a) the maximum peak connected load (b) 400 kW for farm ADG systems • Capacity incentive limited to no more than 50% of eligible engine generator system cost

ADG CST 200 kW Example of Potential Maintenance Incentive
• • • • • • If 200 kW facility has Capacity Factor is 80% Annual production would be 200 kWh/h *8760 h * 0.80 = 1,401,600 kWh If Maintenance Incentive $0.02/kWh Annual Potential Maintenance Incentive = $28,032 Total for 3 years = $84,056
New CST ADG 200 kW Example
Potential Capacity Incentive
• • • • If Capacity Incentive $500/kW Consider a 200 kW digester generator Potential Capacity Incentive would be $100,000 Final payment after successful commissioning
New CST ADG 200 kW Example
Potential Production Incentive
• • • • • • • If 200 kW generator has a Capacity Factor of 80% Annual production would be 200 kWh/h *8760 h * 0.80 = 1,401,600 kWh If Production Incentive $0.10/kWh Annual Potential Production Incentive = $140,160 Total for 3 years = $420,480 Combined Potential Incentives = $520,480
New CST ADG 100 kW Example
Potential of Capacity Incentive
• • • • If Capacity Incentive $500/kW For a 100 kW digester generator Potential Capacity Incentive would be $50,000 Final payment after successful commissioning
New CST ADG 100 kW Example
Potential Production Incentive
• • • • • • • If 100 kW generator has a Capacity Factor of 80% Annual production would be 100 kWh/h *8760 h * 0.80 = 700,800 kWh If Production Incentive $0.10/kWh Annual Potential Production Incentive = $70,080 Total for 3 years = $210,240 Combined Potential Incentives = $260,240
CST ADG Application Steps
• Complete Application • Review by Monitoring and Verification (M&V) Contractor • Offer of Standard Performance Contract (SPC) • Reservation of Total Potential Contract Incentive
CST ADG Payments
• First Capacity Incentive based on receipt of invoices for eligible equipment • Second Capacity Incentive after Project Installation Report and M&V Inspection • Three Production Incentive Payments after acceptance of annual M&V Reports
