DOE floats CSP exemption for waste-to-energy projects
The Department of Energy (DoE) is considering incentives for pioneer waste-to-energy (WTE) projects to boost their development.
These proposed incentives include exemptions from the competitive selection process (CSP) for pioneer WTE projects, regardless of their capacity.
This exemption would allow for direct power supply agreements, bypassing the usual requirement for distribution utilities to procure power through CSP to ensure least-cost electricity.
The DoE is also looking to extend this CSP exemption to WTE projects, similar to a recent move for pioneer nuclear power facilities.
Developers of pioneer WTE projects can choose incentive packages under either the Renewable Energy Act or the CREATE MORE Act.
The government will also ensure these projects have a stable supply of waste feedstock through agreements with local government units and other entities.
