IREC first developed the National Shared Renewables Scorecard in 2017. The 2017 Scorecard evaluated 14 state shared renewable energy programs active in 11 states and Washington, D.C. See the map of the 2017 Scorecard grades. The 2018 Scorecard evaluated 17 shared renewables programs active in 13 states and Washington, D.C. See the map of the 2018 Scorecard grades.

Note: the 2017 & 2018 Scorecard grades were evaluated based upon a slightly different set of criteria which may have altered the grades for certain state programs irregardless of whether or not the program rules were modified during the previous year.
