We are a green contractor here in GA that has managed to help our clients out by offering services that help with their sustainable concerns. GA has many incentives now to go green, however when we first started our business we did not have anything to offer our clients to help them with their upfront costs. Now all of our clients will get a rebate in one form or other since they have chosen one or more of our energy saving options. One new incentive that has been helpful in getting GA a shade green in a green tariff. This means that if you have solar power on your house or building the local utility would have to pay you for the portion that you were not using that went back onto the grid. There is a cap on it that reached it maximum amount already and some of our friends are asking to to sign a petition to help increase the cap so Solar Power has a chance in GA.

The tariff that controls how much energy Georgia Power buys back from alternative energy sources has expired. We are asking for the next tariff to be increased to 5 megawatts. The current level is 500 kilowatts and was used in six months. Georgia Power has proposed a new tariff of only 200 kilowatts which is the equivalent of 40 houses. Experts predict that amount would be exceeded in 2 weeks. Please sign and let the Public Service Commission and Georgia Power know you support the increase to 5 mega watts.
