AZ HCR2002

Concurrent resolution expressing legislative support for the Arizona Corporation Commission to adopt and implement a statewide feed-in tariff policy.

Calls for feed-in tariff design that targets schools, nonprofits, and governmental institutions ineligible for federal Investment Tax Credits.

Supports tariff as mechanism to boost solar energy production and help Arizona achieve its goal of 15 percent renewable energy by 2025, complementing existing Renewable Energy Standard.

Feed-in tariffs would compensate renewable energy producers based on monthly or annual energy production rather than upfront payments.

Tariff could encourage strategic solar deployment in high-growth areas and provide infrastructure cost savings while leveraging declining solar technology costs.
