Wind Incentive Program
Administered by Energy Trust of Oregon
This program is no longer available for homeowners; Energy Trust of Oregon previously offered rebates for small residential wind turbines (1 kW to 100 kW) but has discontinued these incentives.
Contractors cannot participate in residential or small-scale wind projects through this program, as Energy Trust no longer supports installations under 1 megawatt.
Energy Trust shifted focus from small-scale wind to utility-grade community installations (1–20 MW) developed by municipalities in Portland General Electric and Pacific Power service territories; the program is effectively inactive for historical project types and now targets only large municipal-scale projects.

Program summary
Energy Trust previously provided incentives for small-scale wind turbines that ranged in size from 1 kilowatt to 100 kW. Energy Trust no longer provides incentives for small-scale wind projects due to several factors. At this time, Energy Trust only considers offering incentives for community-scale installations, which include utility-grade wind turbines ranging in size from 1 megawatt to 20 MW, developed by municipalities, and in Portland General Electric and Pacific Power territory in Oregon.
