Renewable Energy Fund (REF)
The Commerce RI Renewable Energy Fund (REF) is dedicated to increasing the role of renewable energy with business development and energy supply in Rhode Island's electric grid. The REF provides grants, loans and other financing options to renewable energy projects with the potential to make electricity in a cleaner, more sustainable manner, while stimulating job growth in the green technology and energy sectors of Rhode Island's economy. Using funds from the 'system benefit charge' on electric bills and Alternative Compliance Payments, Commerce RI will fund renewable energy projects in 2013 in small-scale solar, feasibility studies and commercial development. Commercial development consists of direct project installations and early-stage commercialization of new technologies and business models.
