Yes! All changes apply to the Advanced Wood Heating System incentive; no changes have been made to the Solar Hot Water or the High Performance Low Income incentives.
- For full Small Scale Renewable Energy Incentive Program (SSREIP) policies and procedures, please see the SSREIP Terms, Conditions, and Requirements found here.
- The Advanced Wood Heating System incentive now has flat-rate ($3,000) and custom ($1.25/sq-ft heated building space) options.
- The Pellet Storage Adder and the Thermal Efficiency Adder have been eliminated.
- The Advanced Wood Heating System incentive's minimum fuel storage requirement has been increased from 14 days to 21 days.
- The Flat-Rate Advanced Wood Heating System incentive is available for single pellet boilers or furnaces. Systems with multiple boilers or furnaces must apply for the Custom Advanced Wood Heating System incentive.
- Additional information on the Custom Advanced Wood Heating System incentive:
- Includes an adder for thermal storage tanks proportional to heating system size ($10.00/MBH).
- Available for both wood pellet systems and woodchip systems (green and dry).
- Base particulates emissions for pellet systems is <0.08 lbs/MMBtu for PM2.5; for woodchip systems, limit total particulate emissions to no more than 0.10 lbs/MMBtu output.
- Wood pellet systems must continue to meet an 85% HHV efficiency standard; woodchip systems must meet an 80% HHV efficiency standard.
- Applications may be subject to an in-house design review.
- This incentive cannot be combined with the Flat-Rate Advanced Wood Heating System incentive.
