What incentives and programs do my utility offer?

By law, your local utility must purchase any excess electricity from you. There are both utilities that encourage the use of wind systems and discourage it. Locate your electrical bill and contact customer service. Ask them for a copy of the utility policy relating to "connecting a renewable energy system to the electrical grid."

Many states offer types of tax incentives and even rebates for your wind system. Visit the Database of State Incentives for Renewable Energy to learn more about tax and rebate incentives by state.
