Oregon Renewable Energy Incentives

Oregon offers a wide variety of incentives to promote renewable energy installations. Renewable energy like solar, wind, and micro-hydro offer significant benefits to Oregonians including cleaner, local energy supplies and increased local jobs. See the links below to see how these incentives can save you money. If you have additional questions contact a renewable energy professional listed in the OSEIA Membership Directory to explain how you can maximize the incentives listed below.

BEF Green Tags
The Bonneville Environmental Foundation buys Green Tags from homeowners with solar electric systems. Several conditions apply to qualify for this program. Please contact the BEF for more information.

Net Metering Law
Oregon's net metering law allows you to connect your renewable energy system to your local electric grid. This enables you to 'spin your meter backwards'!
