As many of you have seen through the CSI Trigger Tracker, CCSE is quickly approaching the end of its allotted residential megawatts in Step 5, currently worth $1.55/Watt and $0.22/ kWh.  As of today, October 7, 2009, CCSE has reserved exactly 3.56 MW out of the 5.53 MW allotted, with another 0.737 MW Under Review, leaving 1.223 MW of Step 5 incentives remaining.  Once CCSE moves into Step 6, the CSI incentive for Residential projects will be $1.10/Watt and $0.15/ kWh.

I’ve included an historical graph through September of the application flow for new residential projects CCSE has received since the opening of the program.  Please notice the project flow since our latest Trigger drop in June 2009 (Trigger drop months indicated by dark blue).

Please also note, if you have submitted your project via Powerclerk and have not yet submitted the hardcopies to CCSE, your application will not be processed.  The only way your project will receive a reservation is if you submit  all required documentation.
