The California Energy Commission is offering cash rebates on eligible grid-connected small wind and fuel cell renewable energy electric-generating systems through its Emerging Renewables Program (ERP).

Effective January 1, 2007, the technologies eligible for ERP funding are:

1. Small Wind Turbines - small, electricity-producing, wind-driven generating systems with a rated output of 50 kilowatts or less


2. Fuel Cell - the conversion of sewer gas, landfill gas, or other renewable sources of hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gases into electricity by a direct chemical process
