CALIFORNIA Renewable Energy Standard is raised, includes fuel cells - In November 2008, California’s governor signed an executive order that streamlines California’s renewable energy project approval process and increases the state’s Renewable Energy Standard to 33 percent renewable power by 2020. Eligible technologies include fuel cells using renewable fuels. Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) raises cap for fuel cell and wind projects to 3MW Beginning 01/2008, in compliance with Assembly Bill 2778, the Self-Generation Incentive Program is limited to wind and fuel cell (both renewable and nonrenewable) technologies. Maximum system size is 5MW, and the cap on incentives is raised to the first 3MW of system output (formerly 1MW). For renewable fuel cell technologies, the minimum system size per site is 30 kW. There are no minimum size criteria for fuel cell technologies operating on non-renewable fuel. Air Resources Board adds Clarity FCV to rebate program - The Fueling Alternatives program offers vehicle incentive rebates to promote the use and production of alternative fuel vehicles.
