Marin Clean Energy - Feed-In Tariff Plus

MCE's FIT Plus program lets you install a renewable energy system (1-5 MW) on your property and sell the energy back to MCE under a standardized 15-year contract at a fixed rate—currently $60 per MWh as of March 2026, stepping down as more projects join. Your system must include battery storage sized at 180% of your inverter capacity with 4-hour duration, and you'll need local permits and approval from your city or county planning department before MCE can execute your contract.

FIT Plus offers developers a streamlined path to finance small renewable projects through standardized contracts that eliminate lengthy negotiations and provide revenue certainty over 15 years; current pricing is $60/MWh with 10.8 MW remaining capacity (first-come, first-served allocation). All systems sized 1-5 MW must include mandatory energy storage at 180% of AC inverter nameplate with 4-hour duration, and projects require PG&E interconnection approval plus local land-use permits before MCE contract execution.

FIT Plus is MCE's wholesale feed-in program offering fixed-price, 15-year power purchase agreements for distributed renewable generation (1-5 MW inverter size) paired with mandatory 4-hour battery storage at 180% system capacity. The program operates on a declining-price step structure triggered by cumulative installed capacity; it is currently in Condition 5 with $60/MWh pricing and 10.8 MW remaining of the 5-step framework, allocating on first-come, first-served basis. Eligible non-baseload renewables (solar capped at 2,800 MWh/year; other technologies at 3,600 MWh/year) must be located in MCE's service territory and require coordination with PG&E for interconnection and local jurisdictions for permitting.
