Summary

Lincoln Electric System offers a one-time capacity payment to the owner of the renewable generation based on the contribution of peak reduction by the renewable resource, valued at a traditional resource cost of $1,000 per kW-AC. Capacity increases or additions in future years will be eligible for the capacity payment. The total amount customers can receive is determined by the type and efficiency of the technology installed, for example:

 

  • Southern facing fixed-photovoltaic solar: the unit’s nameplate DC capacity (kW) * $375.
  • Western facing or single or dual axis tracking fixed-photovoltaic solar: the unit’s nameplate DC capacity (kW) * $475.
  • Wind - no capacity payment.
  • Other technologies: $1,000 * the average net demand output of the generation (kW) at 5 p.m. during the months of July and August (as determined by LES).

 

Customer-generators may also qualify for credits based on the amount of electricity generated by the renewable energy system that goes to the electricity grid.
