October 28, 2002—The Connecticut Clean Energy Fund (CCEF) recently unveiled a photovoltaic (PV) program for commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings. The purpose of the program is to stimulate the PV market and demonstrate the use of PV systems as a viable, distributed power-generation resource in Connecticut. The fund is requesting pre-applications that illustrate innovative, effective, and replicable PV systems on buildings that:
- Provide high-value or premium-power attributes;
- Relieve electrical load congestion in critical areas in Connecticut;
- Promote a highly visible application;
- Reduce barriers to installation;
- Demonstrate innovative approaches to design, application or financing; and
- Promote environmental benefits.
Interested parties must submit a pre-application by December 13, 2002, to participate in the request for proposal, which will be issued in January 2003. The funding available under the program will total $1 million for all selected projects.
The pre-application form can be downloaded from CCEF’s Web site or obtained by sending a written request to the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, 999 West St., Rocky Hill, CT 06067.
