Feed-In Tariffs and Renewable Energy in the USA

Washington Strategy Workshop

See reports and videos from the US Strategy Workshop, 2 March 2008. The workshop panels included members of German, French, and Spanish ministries, US legislators, and experts in the field of renewable energy legislation.

About these pages

The idea is to develop country and region specific web pages which offer users:

an outline of the current status of energy policies and laws;
access to further information (e.g. reports and analysis);
a means of identifying people or organizations active in promoting renewables; and
information about country-specific WFC projects or campaigns.

We're just getting going

This is work in progress - gathering this information for every country and region is a huge task and we've only just begun.

At the moment not all countries or regions have a page. The pages you will find here are representative of the analysis conducted so far. Working with a list of countries and regions that were purported to have FITs, our team started to conduct detailed country- and region-specific analysis.

Where we were not confident of the results we have either chosen to remain silent, or highlighted the uncertainties, and we call on users to help us to fill in the gaps.

Get involved

The World Future Council believes in collaboration - we need to work in partnership with others if we are to achieve our aims - and this is as true here as it is in the rest of our projects.

If you are working in this field, or you have something to contribute we'd like to here from you so contact us.
