 The database of state incentives for renewables and efficiency is one of the most useful online resources for information about incentives and subsidies available to renewable energy and energy efficiency in the United States. And it is limited to the US, but it's probably one of the best centralized locations for this information on the web. And so the website is www.dsireusa.org Or if you just go to Google and type in dsire, you'll probably find it. So when you go to the homepage, the first thing that you will see is this map of the United States. And each of the states and territories within the US is clickable to get more information about incentives available in that state. So for example, I'm going to click on my home state of Pennsylvania. And it brings up a page with a very long list of different incentives available for renewable energy projects and energy efficiency projects in the state of Pennsylvania. And all of these different incentive programs are run by either the state or some area within the state, like a county or an electric utility or a town or something like that. And so at the very top of the page, you can find information about all sorts of financial incentives. And then if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you can find information on state policies that are relevant to renewable energy or energy efficient development. And so policies don't include things that would directly affect the financials of a project like a rebate or a tax credit or something like that. And so you can find this stuff for just about any state in the US. Desire also has a nice list of federal incentives. And there's a special page for federal incentives. And if you look for the little American flag icon just about anywhere on the Desire's website, it'll bring you to the page for federal incentives. Again, the page is divided into a section for financial incentives. So these would be things like tax credits and loan guarantees and then relevant federal policies for the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors. The last thing that I wanted to point out, which is really useful on the Desire website is this page of maps. So on the left hand side on the menu bar, you'll see a page that says Summary Maps. And they have a whole bunch of different maps available that give you information on different things. So one of the most commonly used is the maps showing which states in the US have renewable portfolio standards. And so they have these in PowerPoint and PDF format. So I'll click on the PDF one, show you what it looks like. And here it comes up. And it highlights all the states that have enacted some sort of renewable portfolio standard. And it gives you some information about whether certain technologies are eligible under the standard. So if you see a little sun icon, for example, that means that there's a special solar power quota within that states RPS. And so what you're looking at here is the map that is basically figure one from the lesson.
