Our Mission


The FIT Coalition’s mission is to identify and advocate for policies that will accelerate the deployment of cost-effective renewable energy. The FIT Coalition believes the right policies will result in a timely transition to renewable energy while yielding tremendous economic benefits, including new job creation, increased tax revenue, and the establishment of an economic foundation that will drive growth for decades.

California vs Germany.

Although California receives 70% more sunlight for producing solar energy, Germany installs 15 times more solar electric capacity every year.

Speaking Events

Renewable Energy & Economic Stimulus Act of 2009 (REESA)

The REESA FIT is a comprehensive, cost-based Feed-In Tariff (FIT) in California designed to work in concert with existing programs and not interfere in the jurisdiction of any existing programs for renewable energy.

It taps into the Wholesale Distributed Generation (WDG) market segment consisting of 20 megawatt-and-under projects that are interconnected to the distribution grid which on average in California, has a value boost of more than 35 percent over transmission-interconnected generation.

Under the REESA FIT, energy generated will not offset any onsite load, be net metered, nor be eligible for CSI or SGIP incentives. Instead all the energy is sold to utilities, bundled with all renewable energy attributes including the Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), which will count toward utilities’ RPS requirements

A version of the REESA FIT is in the California Legislature as AB1106. For details on AB1106, click here.
