The Alabama Energy Division's State Energy Program is accepting applications for the Energy-Efficient Retrofits Program grant. The grant must be used for the installation of energy-efficiency improvements and may be used by local governments, public K-12 school systems, and non-profit organizations. Energy-efficient measures such as energy-efficient lighting, HVAC replacements, programmable thermostats, solar PV systems (rooftop, parking lot canopy, or a max 60 kW ground installed system), or solar thermal systems that are max 20 kW.

Note: In 2010, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which has authority over mortgage underwriters Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, directed these enterprises against purchasing mortgages of homes with a PACE lien due to its senior status above a mortgage. Most residential PACE activity subsided following this directive; however, some residential PACE programs are now operating with loan loss reserve funds, appropriate disclosures, or other protections meant to address FHFA's concerns. Commercial PACE programs were not directly affected by FHFA’s actions, as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not underwrite commercial mortgages.

The Clean Energy Standard (CES) was created to assist in reaching Massachusetts’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals adopted pursuant to the Climate Protection and Green Economy Act. The CES requires retail electricity sellers to demonstrate on an annual basis the use of clean energy for the generation of specific electricity sale percentages.

Clean Generation Resources

The CES allows two types of clean generation resources, those from existing units and those from new units. Clean existing generation refers to existing nuclear and hydroelectric generating units that have a capacity of more than 30 MW, started operations before 2011, and are

Note: In mid-July 2024, the Department of Energy Resources filed an emergency rulemaking that made immediate rule changes to the Clean Peak Energy Standard, including adding a near-term resource multiplier and amending the minimum standards for 2025 and thereafter. Further rule changes were then made in mid-October 2024 via a follow-on emergency rulemaking that amended ACP rates, among other things.
