Why ARTs?Why ARTs?

Community power proponents are precluded from participating in the RFP process for renewables

ARTs allows for broad based participation and ownership of renewable power generation

Simplified administrative process for government and suppliers

Markets with ARTs have more players, stronger local economies, more manufacturing, more jobs, more renewable energy generation

ARTs are a proven policy mechanism for the rapid deployment of renewable energy – Denmark, Germany, Spain, France, California
