The state will establish a fuel cell research center in partnership with DuPont, W. L.<br />
Gore, the University of Delaware and Delaware State University. Objectives are to:<br />
Establish Delaware as a center of the evolving fuel cell industry; and<br />
Make Delaware competitive as major automakers look to introduce fuel cells in<br />
automobiles by 2007.<br />
The center will require a commitment of $1 million over a period of five years. An initial<br />
allocation of $200,000 was provided for the Center in the state’s FY05 budget.<br />

The Green Energy Fund for renewable energy products is divided into three separate<br />
programs: Green Energy Program, Technology Demonstration Program and Research<br />
and Development Program.<br />

The Green Energy Program (formerly known as the Energy Alternatives Program) was<br />
established as part of the Electric Utility Restructuring Act of 1999. The purpose of the<br />
program is to introduce renewable energy technologies into the Delaware market by<br />
reducing the net system costs through the use of grants. Under the program, alternative<br />
energy grants are available for the installation of qualifying fuel cell, photovoltaic, solar<br />
water heating, wind turbine and geothermal heat pump systems. <strong>Fuel</strong> cell systems must<br />
be powered by a renewable fuel source.<br />
To ensure that rebates are provided to both residential and non-residential applicants,<br />
40% of rebate funding is available for residential customers and 60% of funding is<br />
available for nonresidential customers. The maximum individual grant amount is 50% of<br />
installation costs. Caps for fuel cell installations are $22,500 for residential and<br />
$250,000 for non-residential systems.<br />
