Distributed Generation Policies:

Financial Incentives for CHP: Community Energy Education Management Program

Description: The Oklahoma Department of Commerce offers a revolving loan fund for local governments to make energy efficient improvements to government buildings. All eligible projects must increase energy efficiency, reduce energy consumption, project a positive return on investment and be paid back within six years of the loan award. Generally, the loans will not be more than $150,000, and the average loan amount is around $60,000. An eligible local government may have only one active loan open at any time.

Additional details of the program can be found in the DSIRE database.

Standby Rates: Oklahoma Gas & Electric Company’s Schedules MS-1, SS-1, BUS-1 and Public Service Company of Oklahoma’s standby policies

Description: OG&E charges standby service through a fixed customer fee and low demand and energy charges. The billing demand is based either on the maximum 15-minute demand each month or 80% of the maximum from the previous 11 months, whichever is higher. The Public Service Company of Oklahoma does not allow customers to operate in parallel with the utility or purchase standby service. Both of these approaches are viewed as not favorable toward CHP.
