Consumer Trends & Market Forces

A report looking at 160 of the largest global

manufacturers found that 40 (or 25 percent) have established a renewable energy target; ○ Of which, 11% have established a 100% renewable energy goal

By 2030, Ohio’s DG market could grow to 950 MW (@~110

MW now), and utility-scale could grow to 1,500 MW = 800 direct jobs + 1,700 indirect jobs

Recent poll of conservative voters found that 59% strongly

support Ohioans’ ability to self-generate and to sell excess power at fair market prices.

Ohio Laws that Help and Hinder Solar Projects

Help

★ Competitive electric supply for most Ohioans ★ Smaller projects not subject to state permitting ★ Net metering enabled in most areas ★ Federal tax credits ★ Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS)

Hinder

✕ Lack of in-state requirement under RPS or in-state incentives ✕ Some limitations on contracting for power supply ✕ Inflexible siting requirements for net metered systems ✕ Policy uncertainty at state level
