What are the EPBB incentive levels?
Annual estimated production Incentive level 1-16,000 kWh $3.20/Annual kWh 16,000 – 750,000 kWh $.50/Annual kWh Annual estimated production is based on the location average annual wind speed and turbine power characteristics curves. Residential Wind EPBB rebate incentives are capped at 16,000 kWh, which is equivalent to a maximum rebate of $51,200. -Back to top- How is the EPBB different from the way rebates were calculated before? The amount of the incentive is based on annual kWh production versus the previous incentive that was based on the capacity (kW) of the system, or the installed cost, regardless of annual output. -Back to top- What factors are considered when determining the annual energy output? The EPBB requires an estimation of the annual energy output of the proposed wind system. Estimating energy production for a small wind energy system can be achieved according to the following formula: Annual Energy Output (kWh/year) = 0.01328 (D^2) (V^3) Where D^2= the blade diameter
