Washington D.C. Solar Benefits & Incentives
Washington D.C. is home to some of the nation’s most robust and ambitious renewable energy legislation in the country. This greatly impacts the financial opportunity of solar in D.C. in multiple ways:
- D.C.’s Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SREC) market allows for solar credits to be sold to the community
- Great legislative emphasis placed on community solar initiatives and infrastructure
- Commercial buildings are able to save money on their electric bills by helping to provide solar credits to low-income communities
Washington D.C. commercial property owners can enjoy greater profits, higher property value, create greater tenant satisfaction, and achieve sustainability goals by incorporating rooftop solar into their energy portfolio.
Washington D.C. ESG & Sustainability Requirements
In 2018, Washington D.C. passed the Clean Energy DC Omnibus Amendment Act, setting a mandate of 100% renewable electricity by the year 2032. This was later augmented by the Local Solar Expansion Amendment Act in 2022, requiring a minimum of 15% of that energy to come from solar. This places prime importance on the ability to track and share energy metrics with the community and regulatory agencies.
King Energy integrates directly to ESG reporting systems like Energy Star® Portfolio Manager®, which provides streamlined energy tracking, benchmarking against similar properties, and improved energy conservation measures.
