| Size of Award | The state of Indiana participates in the federal NOx Budget Trading Program. A portion of the state's allowances have been set aside for EE/RE projects. Sources that meet certain criteria (see below) may apply for these allowances which may then be sold to other NOx emitting sources for cash. Allowances are limited and availability is based upon the amount of other competing projects on a yearly basis. |
| Start Date | 6/1/2004 |
| End Date | 12/31/2008 |
| Minimum Efficiency(%) |

| Additional Information | In order to be considered as highly efficient electricity generation, generating systems must meet or exceed the following thresholds: - For combined heat and power projects rated energy efficiency of sixty percent (60%). - For microturbine projects rated at or below five hundred (500) kilowatts generating capacity, rated energy efficiency of forty percent (40%). - For combined cycle projects rated at greater than five hundred (500) kilowatts, rated energy efficiency of fifty percent (50%). - For fuel cell systems, rated energy efficiency of forty percent (40%), whether or not the fuel cell system is part of a combined heat and power energy system. The installation of highly efficient electricity generation equipment for the sale of power where such equipment replaces or displaces retired electrical generating units (combined cycle systems, combustion turbines or boilers serving generators greater than 25 megawatts); these units must meet or exceed the following energy efficiency thresholds: - For coal-fired electrical generation units, rated energy efficiency of 42%. - For natural gas-fired electrical generating units, rated energy efficiency of 50%. |
