Time of use (TOU) tariffs can shift electricity consumption out of peak periods, thus helping the grid cope with variable renewable energy. [8] [9] A feed-in tariff (FIT) [10] is an energy-supply policy that supports the development of renewable power generation. FITs give financial benefits to renewable power producers.
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a metric that attempts to compare the costs of different methods of electricity generation consistently. Though LCOE is often presented as the minimum constant price at which electricity must be sold to break even over the lifetime of the project, such a cost analysis requires assumptions about the value of various non-financial costs (environmental ...
In 2006, renewable energy revenues in Ohio were $775 million, creating 6,615 jobs. [56] In 2008, the Ohio legislature unanimously passed, and Governor Ted Strickland signed into law, Senate Bill 221 requiring 12.5% of Ohio's energy be generated from renewable sources by 2025. [57]

It is used for investment planning and to compare different methods of electricity generation on a consistent basis. The more general term levelized cost of energy may include the costs of either electricity or heat. The latter is also referred to as levelized cost of heat [2] or levelized cost of heating (LCOH), or levelized cost of thermal ...
Residential tariffs vary significantly between states from 6.7 ¢/kWh in West Virginia to 24.1 ¢/kWh in Hawaii. An important factor that influences tariff levels is the mix of energy sources used in power generation. For example, access to cheap federal power from hydropower plants contributes to low electricity tariffs in some states.
The Ohio House passed House Bill 308, 87-10, to label nuclear energy as green energy. Proponents of nuclear energy say it's a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels, which emit carbon dioxide and ...
