Breakthrough Technologies Institute - Fuel Cells 2000

• Fuel Cell credit component;
• Photovoltaic credit component; and
• Green Refrigerant credit component.
The Fuel Cell Credit component requires that the fuel cell must be serving a green space
and be a "qualifying alternate energy source". Thirty percent of the capitalized cost of
each fuel cell (6% x 5 years) qualifies for the tax credit. The credit cap is $1,000/kw x
DC-rated capacity.

Peak Load Reduction Program
www.nyserda.org/programs/peak-load.asp
The New York Energy $mart Peak Load Reduction Program, administered by
NYSERDA, accepts applications from eligible contractors to identify and implement one
or more project(s) that will result in reduced peak electric demand in New York State,
particularly New York City. The program offers several components geared toward
specific demand reduction strategies.
One component of the program, Permanent Demand Reduction, funds technologies that
permanently reduce a facility’s demand coincident with the system peak. Fuel cells,
wind turbines, photovoltaic or other renewable energy resources are eligible for funding.
The minimum Project size is 20 kW. Eligible project costs include engineering services,
procurement and installation of capital equipment, or other NYSERDA approved
expenses incurred to permanently reduce summer peak demand. Capital equipment
includes facility improvements that result in reduced electric demand, such as heating,
ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment, lighting equipment, motors, PV, and
other custom measures that reliably reduce demand coincident with the system peak.
