Is customer motivation a barrier to marketing upgrades in your community? You can find ideas for incentives faster with DOE’s updated Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency (DSIRE). In addition to pinpointing opportunities in a variety of formats (e.g., dynamic maps, charts, tables), the database includes a search tool that filters incentives and policies by type, state, technology, implementing sector, and eligible sector. DSIRE’s latest improvements include:
- Expanded data accessibility with information on more than 2,800 active policies and incentives for all renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.
- An Application Program Interface freely available for download that contains all of the data on DSIRE in an easy-to-read format.
- Interactive maps users can customize in real-time based on their preferences and needs.
- Enhanced search capabilities that allow users to find incentives by zip code.
Visit the DSIRE website to find policies and incentives near you.
