CESA will continue to collect data and maintain a national renewable energy program database to summarize state support for the deployment of clean energy projects - utility-scale and distributed projects. The purposes of the Database project are to:
- Maintain a national clean energy program database to summarize and evaluate state support for the deployment of clean energy projects - both utility-scale and smaller, distributed generation projects. This database is designed to track important market measures such as installed cost of projects, system size, manufacturer share, etc.
- Maintain a template and compilation of key data and metrics on all state clean energy programs (incentive levels, funding levels, number of projects supported, total capacity and energy production annually and cumulatively, etc.).
- Maintain a common database and reporting system that all state clean energy programs can use to simplify the administration and public reporting of their program impacts and that provides a foundation for continued reporting by the states.
