Los Angeles approved tariff subsidy scheme


Running water and electricity company in Los Angeles (LADWP) Board of Commissioners has decided to go further on the basis of the region 10MW feed-in tariff plan, approved a total 100MW new feed-in tariff plan. Named FiT Set Pricing Program according to the plan, residents, solar companies or other third-party solar developers can be installed within the jurisdiction of the LADWP distributed generation systems, access to the city grid and sale of electricity to the LADWP.

The LADWP will first be launched in the first quarter of 2013, the the 20MW subsidy quota after to add 20MW quota maintain quarterly 2016, until the installed capacity of 100MW ceiling. Be 30kW to 150kW installed capacity of small-scale projects the system scale 30kW to 3MW, each new subsidy quota specific provisions.

For each project, LADWP will sign a 20-year power purchase agreement, which the first 20MW quota of the feed-in tariff of $ 0.17 / kWh. The price will be based on the amount of PV system installation cascade set, each maximum installed capacity is reached, the feed-in tariff will be reduced to 0.01 USD / kWh.

In addition, the Board of Commissioners plans to further expand this program the 50MW, namely the completion of the feed-in tariff plan of the total 150MW. The current launch of 100MW will be introduced after the City Council for approval by February 1, the program will continue until the end of 2016.

The program aims to encourage the Los Angeles area, the development of renewable energy projects, to help the region to achieve the 2020 renewable energy accounted for 33% of the target.

"The decision of the LADWP Board of Commissioners will promote Los Angeles became the largest city of the U.S. introduction of the feed-in tariff quota, and I'm very proud of that," said Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the Los Angeles region has abundant solar panel energy resources, this subsidy program will promote local investment and employment, while reducing the Los Angeles dependence on fossil fuels. "

LADWP General Manager Ronald Nichols said the expansion of subsidies for solar energy systems is the LADWP from conventional power generation to the environmentally friendly renewable power generation into the important part, LADWP will use more energy-saving measures and renewable energy with the natural gas, instead of over-reliance on coal.

"LADWP will be in the next 15 years (the use of cleaner technology) to rebuild the 70% of power generation facilities," Nichols said, "solar cell power not only to improve the utilization of renewable energy, but also to ensure a reliable power supply in the conversion period sex. "

"We and commercial organizations, environmental groups and solar charge controller industry representatives exchanges and Internet tariff subsidy plan lessons learned from California, concluded that a reasonable pricing strategy, we need to ensure the success of the program," Nichols said, " Los Angeles in 2016 to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 25%, which increased to 33% in 2020. If we do not promote the region's feed-in tariff plan, then we need from the outside purchase of renewable energy power generation. "

LADWP proposed solar feed-in tariff is slightly higher than other renewable forms of energy, LADWP hopes for smooth implementation by providing a high enough subsidies Guarantee Scheme.
