Under a joint resolution, solar photovoltaic (PV) parks in the state of Oregon with capacities of 150 MW and 30 MW can compete for monthly incentive payments of $ 5 (€ 4.45 ) per MWh for five years . Only projects that commence power generation after 1 January 2016 are eligible for the incentive. Rep. Greg Barreto, R-Cove, and Sen. Bill Hansell, R-Athena, both voted in favor of the bill. Money for the programme comes from the newly-established Solar Incentivisation Fund . The funding stops once a park reaches 150 MW of participating systems or on 2015 , whichever occurs first. According to data by Solar Incentivisation Fund , Oregon installed 150 MW of solar capacity in 2015 , ranking it 19th nationally.
