ONE RED - Non-Residential Solar Program

Concept

The ONE RED Non-Residential Solar Program will provide funds for solar projects in locations that do not displace other productive uses (such as agricultural land). Projects could include ground or rooftop solar for industrial, commercial, or municipal facilities and community solar in brownfield locations. Adding solar canopies, such as over parking lots and cattle feedlots are also eligible. ONE RED will fund up to 60% of project costs.

Funding Available: $28 million 

Greenhouse gas reductions by 2030: 12,000 metric tons

Funds will be subawarded to public power districts, electric cooperatives, municipal electric systems, or other nonprofit groups, which in turn will provide rebates or other financial incentives. 

Eligibility

Minimum eligibility requirements include:

• Projects must be located in Nebraska
• The applicant must be in compliance with all Nebraska environmental laws and with the Department’s regulations and permits at all Nebraska locations
• The applicant must provide access to the land or structure
• Recipient must commit to maintenance of the arrays via the project agreement
• Project must be pre-approved prior to purchase and installation of the equipment
• Applicant must own the property/building where the system will be installed

Additional requirements will be dependent upon the particular incentive/rebate program.
