In May 2005, Washington enacted Senate Bill 5101, which established a production incentive of $0.15 per kilowatt-hour for anaerobic digesters, capped at $5,000.

| How to Apply | Interested persons should contact their light and power company and find out if the company is participating in the program. Light and power companies are not required to participate.

Once the certification process is complete, an application must be submitted to the light and power business by August 1 of each year. |
