Background: Established in 2005, the Washington Renewable Energy Cost Recovery Program (CRP) provides an annual payment for electricity from qualifying wind and solar electric systems – as currently enacted – until June 2020.
However, this 5 year window is not sufficient so it is critical that legislation be enacted this session to extend and improve the incentive program to continue building Washington’s local renewable energy infrastructure.
Distributed wind, solar and other local renewable energy technologies are important emerging sources of distributed generation, jobs, and wealth for Washingtonians. Please contact your legislators and ask them to strengthen and extend the CRP!
