Abstract

In this paper, we describe an approach to quantify state-level renewable energy policies for a decision maker/investor. We describe the construction of a computational module - a rule-based system - to evaluate state incentives and their impacts on renewable energy investment. We aim to quantify the policy bias of states towards renewable technologies and identify profitable markets for investment, both long- and short-term. We also present how the ability to estimate the expected return from tax credits and incentives for a proposed project can be included while strategizing investment in large renewable energy generation projects.
