Santee Cooper's Green Power Program was launched in September of 2001. All of the state's 20 electric cooperatives and the City of Georgetown participate in the Green Power Program, which is Green-e accredited. The renewable resources sold under the Green Power Program are comprised of landfill gas (methane), solar energy and wind energy systems.

Participating residential customers are able to purchase this green power for $3 per 100 kWh block. Commercial participants are able to purchase the power for $6 per 200 kWh block.

Note: This model ordinance was designed to provide guidance to local governments that wish to develop their own siting rules for wind turbines. While it was developed as part of a cooperative effort involving several state agencies, the model itself has no legal or regulatory authority.

In July, 2008 the North Carolina Wind Working Group, a coalition of state government, non-profit and wind industry organizations, published a model wind ordinance to provide guidance for communities seeking to promote wind energy. For the purposes of this model, wind-energy systems are classified as "small" if they consist of a single wind turbine

San Francisco adopted a mandatory green building code for new construction projects in September 2008, establishing strict guidelines for residential and commercial buildings according to the following schedule:

Building Type	Year	Requirement
Small Residential (four dwellings or fewer)	2009	25 Green Points (does not need to be rated)
	2010 and 2011	Must be GreenPoint Rated and building applications must demonstrate that a minimum of 50 GreenPoints will be earned
	2012	Building applications for new homes must demonstrate that at least 75 GreenPoints will be achieved
Mid-size Residential	2009	25 Green Points (does not need to be rated)

The City of Chamblee, Georgia requires all of its new municipal buildings over 5,000 square feet of occupied space or one million dollars in cost to be certified under LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. Buildings under 5,000 square feet or one million dollars may be certified under Energy Star or EarthCraft Light Commercial standards in lieu of LEED. Additionally, other projects may be certified by programs other than LEED if approved by the Planning and Development Director. Renovations must also follow LEED guidelines, or other programs if LEED certification is not feasible.

In June 2008, the Governor of Indiana issued an Executive Order establishing an energy efficient state buildings initiative. The order requires the Indiana Department of Administration (DOA) to develop design standards for all new state buildings that require a cost-effectiveness analysis of the building with a goal of achieving energy efficiency. These rules apply to all state agencies, departments, boards, offices, commissions, and public universities. 

The DOA has incorporated the requirements of the Executive Order into Indiana's standard instructions to designers for projects on state-owned buildings. Efficiency can be demonstrated through adherence to any of the following standards:

• A rating

Note: As of February 1, 2017, FEUS' net metering program is closed to new customers. Existing customers are grandfathered under the most recent net metering tariffs.

Net metering rules developed by the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission (PRC) apply to the state's investor-owned utilities and electric cooperatives. Municipal utilities, which are not regulated by the commission, are exempt from the PRC rules but authorized to develop their own net metering programs.

Farmington Electric, a municipal utility, offers net metering to residential and commercial customers with systems up to 10 kilowatts (kW) in capacity that were installed by January 31, 2017.
