Update from DOER:

“In February of 2016, the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) selected Sustainable Energy Advantage, LLC (SEA) to analyze and compare solar program design alternatives. SEA’s report completes two main tasks:
1.  Evaluate current solar costs, revenue requirements and needed incentive levels across multiple types of solar projects;
2.  Compare the costs of program alternatives based on the revenue requirements determined in Task 1.

The solar program options that are analyzed in the report include a declining block tariff, a competitive bid/ standard offer, and SREC III.
The SEA Report and accompanying revenue and incentive requirement workbooks are now posted to DOER’s website for stakeholders to review.”
