The state uses solar, biomass, hydroelectric and primarily wind as clean energy sources. It is one of 20 states with a binding energy savings target and the utility companies sponsor over 43 rebate programs for efficient and renewable energy. However, Indiana is ranked as the 8th highest state for overall greenhouse gas emissions. In 2017, a law prevented net metering for solar energy and this severely slowed the uptake of solar programs in the state. | Regulated | $94,124,790 |
