With 26 states having adopted renewable energy standards, it is anticipated that by the year 2020 approximately 5,800 megawatts of advanced/renewable energy will be used in Ohio alone.
The federal government and the State of Ohio have grant and incentive programs to help existing Ohio companies retool manufacturing capacities and retrain workforces to produce components for wind turbines, geothermal systems, photovoltaic systems, biomass, clean coal and nuclear.
In addition to programs focused on advanced energy supply chains, the State of Ohio and the federal governments have implemented numerous tax incentive and grant programs to aid companies interested in making its facilities "green" or more energy efficient.
Information has been divided into two primary categories: information for any company making energy efficiency upgrades to an existing or new building, and information for companies investing in equipment or technology to produce advanced energy products.
