type of arrangement the customer pays the retail price for any electricity used in excess of what they produce, and for any excess electricity produced by the customer, the utility provider pays for the electricity at its avoided cost, which is essentially the retail price. Table C-1 presents the initial costs for the optimized mix of RE technologies for each LPOE site. Table C-2 shows the size of each technology in the optimized mix for every LPOE site. Table C-3 compares the difference in size of the optimal solutions with and without financial incentives. Table C-4 shows the calculations for the return on investment for the optimized mix of RE solutions for each site. 158
