B.1 Renewable Energy Use v. Total Energy Use
While some LPOEs may get a large fraction of their power from cost-effective
renewable energy projects on-site, and some even generate more than they use
(selling excess to the utility at avoided cost), the total percentage of renewable
energy use for all of the LPOEs combined would be more than 15 percent
without financial incentives and 22 percent with financial incentives. Table B-2
shows results for each site without financial incentives.
